adressbooks

[Matthias Henze]

ok, thanks. after i had a look with php ldap admin i've decided to add 
cn=external to the seachbase. seems to me that the kolab ldap template for 
kontact has some invalid atributes (kolab 2.1). i had to modify some.

what do i have to do, to share the adressbook to the public and/or to singel 
users? there is some kind of "permissions" dialog in kontact. what does the 
other users have to do to access my contacts ?

Yes it is. You can share your addressbook among other users. You need to give
other users the permission to access your addressbook. BTW this works for all
other groupware objects of kolab too.

Maybe you forgot to enable "subtreesearch" in your ldap ressource?
What I have done is:
Create a new LDAP ressource to your addressbook. Enable subtreesearch in the
lower part of the ressource configuration window.
You may want to define a searchbase if you do not want all users to be
 listed.
