Re: LDAP schema extension for mozilla

Hi Edward,

here is the meta bug ( 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157928 ) for the LDAP 
address book problem. You find here the linke to the 3 other related 
bugs (one you already found ;-):

*) Define official Mozilla LDAP schema ( bug 116692 )
*) Change LDAP properties to be compatible / compliant with 'Official 
Mozilla LDAP schema' ( bug 157925 )
*) Change LDIF export so it is compatible with 'Official Mozilla LDAP 
schema' (bug 157926 )

Cheers
Rolanf

Re: LDAP schema extension for mozilla

Hi Roland,

Thanks for the information.  That's very helpful.

I really hope integration of the new schema and code changes will happen 
soon.  Looking at the bugs, some of them have been around for a while. 
I guess that's to be expected.

Do you know if the address book patch fixes the no-show of 
homePostalAddress and postalAddress attributes in address book?  At the 
moment, I just want the very basic information to show up.  The new 
mozilla schema will certainly help but support for the base openldap 
schemas should be consistent and reliable.

Are there other attributes from which Mozilla Address Book gets the home 
    address and work address values (i.e. something other than 
homePostalAddress or postalAddress)?  The city, state and zip attributes 
all work fine.

Thanks.
Edward

Re: LDAP schema extension for mozilla

Hi Edward,

the following LDAP "home"-attributes will be supported by the patch:

Internal Name		LDAP attribute

"HomeAddress"		"homepostaladdress"
"HomeAddress2"		"mozillahomepostaladdress2"
"HomeCity"		"mozillahomelocalityname"
"HomeState"		"mozillahomestate"
"HomeZipCode"		"mozillahomepostalcode"
"HomeCountry"		"mozillahomefriendlycountryname"
"HomeCountry"		"mozillahomecountryname"

I hope it helps. After applying the patch all fileds in the address card 
have a LDAP representation.

Creating a standard LDAP schema for PIMs

Has there been any discussion of trying to come up with a standard 
ldap schema for address books that can be utilized by ALL the major 
groupware clients and servers?

I'm involved in the openoffice.org project and we recently had a 
discussion about the need for standardization on an ldap schema that 
incorporates the special needs of PIM address books and groupware 
servers.  If everyone used the same schema and associated attributes, 
interoperability and data interchange between pims and ldap-enabled 
groupware servers would improve dramatically.  Does anyone know if 
such an effort has been started?  If not, is there interest in trying 
to create a working group to address this?  I know of at least one 
other project that would also be interested in a such an effort.

Roland, I sent you an e-mail regarding this some days ago but perhaps 
you didn't receive it.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Edward
