Filtering addressbook ldap search by attribute
Last modified: 2003-01-16 20:48:36 UTC
Description of Problem: Addressbook does not allow filtering ldap search. Sometimes ldap directory is not so well organized and it's impossible to limit search only to persons by only setting proper base dn. It would be usefull that one could set a search filter like: Filter: (objectclass = organizationalPerson) This way only persons would be returned. On baddly organized directory search without filter returns usually accounts also. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Contacts -> Tools -> Addressbook sources -> [Select server] Edit -> Advanced Actual Results: Address search may return unwanted type of data Expected Results: Search should return only wanted type of data (objectclass=something) How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information: See Mozilla/Netscape (atleast v6.x) for reference implementation.
