Re: [SOGo] CardDAV on iPhone with LDAP (user sources) directories

[Euan Thoms]

Thanks Christian, nice to have that confirmed. I decided to go down 
another route anyway. MAC OSX Address Book is even less supported, it 
doesn't show the LDAP address book at all. Aside from that, I doubt that 
LDAP mail groups/lists would show up in the corporate directory, User 
sources indicates it wouldn't work. Even if it did I doubt it would show 
the members. So I thought of using a public shared address book instead 
(read only to normal users). That way the individuals (staff) would be a 
contact and groups/mailing lists would be a "contact list" and folk 
could see the members.

I just need to write an LDAP->PostgreSQL population daemon now. Its a 
one way sync so shouldn't be too hard. Unless anyone has already though 
of that and implemented it. Wish me luck....

"CardDAV Sync".

These read-only address books look empty by default, until a search
filter value is given. Is that why iOS carddav can't see them?

Yes, iOS tries to download the whole thing, which is not permitted.
Only search is allowed, and sensible in our case (>14 000 addresses).


Has the
author of "CardDAV Sync" gone the extra mile for sogo integration? Or
has Apple just not fully-implemented CardDAV protocol?

Apple doesn't support search only CardDAV access.
The standard allows these kind of address books.


Kind regards,

PS:
If you come by an add-on which supports them, please drop us a note.
