For grins & giggles, I've been teaching myself the basics of LDAP. I've got ldapadd, ldapsearch, and ldapdelete down and have my rudimentary skills in place. I decided to create a contact in evolution then do an ldapsearch to see what schema was associated with which record in the 'contact editor'. Everything made sense till I ran across this:
homePostalAddress:: MTMxMyBNb2NraW5nYmlyZCBMbgpKYWNrc29uLCBNUyAzOTEzMA== This looks nothing like what I entered into the contact editor, yet if I delete the record, and add it back (importing the info from the ldapsearch as an ldif file) this gobbledygook transforms itself into the address I entered originally. What I want to know is what causes this? Is it normal? And how do I add a contact's address with ldapadd that evolution will see properly? PS In using the 'Contact editor' GUI to create the entry originally, I clicked on the 'Address' button and entered each facet of the address in the appropriate line, reasoning that each entry would correspond to a different aspect of the schema. Imagine my shock when it didn't seem to (in any way I can comprehend). -- Brian _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
