Kolab Server 2.2.1-rc1 now puts in a "cn" part in the freebusy lists
(.ifb) it generates.

Today I have tested these .ifb lists with Outlook:
All test cases were displayed okay.
Some minor webadmin problems were seen (Thomas will put them in the tracker).

Details:
Tested: Kolab Server/OpenPKG 2.2.1-rc1, Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP SP3.
Used a setting in OL like 
https://demo.kolab.org/freebusy/%NAME%@demo.kolab.org.ifb

The following cases were understood:

* Simple
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//kolab.org//NONSGML Kolab Server 2//EN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VFREEBUSY
ORGANIZER;cn=Leim Test 3 Weinstein:MAILTO:ltest3 at demo.kolab.org
DTSTAMP:20090320T155608Z
URL:http://demo.kolab.org/freebusy/ltest3@demo.kolab.org.ifb
DTSTART:20090310T230000Z
DTEND:20090517T220000Z
FREEBUSY:20090319T130000Z/20090319T140000Z
FREEBUSY:20090319T163000Z/20090319T163100Z
[..]
END:VFREEBUSY
END:VCALENDAR

* With umlauts or commas in the directory server,
the server generates double quotes around the CN, which is good and 
understood. See attached file.

Outlook displayed the freebusy list.

* With direct manipulation I have created an entry like
  cn=\"Tim\" Tester,
  the server generated: 
  ORGANIZER;cn=Tim Tester:MAILTO:tim.tester at demo.kolab.org
* an even more nastier example:
  cn=\22Tim\22 Test\22\2Cer,dc=demo,dc=kolab,dc=org
  lead to:
  ORGANIZER;cn="Tim Test,er":MAILTO:tim.tester at test.hq
  which means that double-quotes in the CN do not work
  with the freebusy-code CN's generation. Would need a retest
  with Outlook once it starts working.
