Evolution doesn't query ACL's or anything to figure out if you have permissions to write/modify/query/etc, because unfortunately I know of no way to query a server for acl's... So we go based on whether or not you've authenticated. You have to authenticate in order to modify/create entries. A way to tell if the ldap code thinks you have permissions is the state of the delete button in the contact editor. If it's greyed out you didn't authenticate. If it's enabled, you have permissions, and greyed out fields in the contact editor are caused by schema problems I alluded to in my previous mail. > Mark Foster wrote: > > >Same here (no experience).
