Hi Group,

the solution was:

- stop kolab
- delete all openldap files (test environment, not many users, no problem)
- delete the *.pem files in /kolab/etc/kolab
- kolab_bootstrap -b providing fqn kidlinux.glerch.de and so on
- starting all kolabn servicec

(hostname -f says kidlinux.glerch.de)

configuring thunderbird ldap addressbook

Name: Kolab
Hostname: kidlinux (windows host with entry in hostfile)
Base DN: dc=kidlinux
Port-No.: 389
DN Bind: no entry

all other values are left as thunderbird default.

This worked, but when I klick offline and try to download the 
addressbook, no result.

What I stil don`t like, when entries in the addressbook are beeing 
displayed, the order is First Name -  Last Name,
for esample:
Hans Mustermann
Thorsten Testmann

I usualy know my buisiness contacts by last name, But I could not change 
  this. But this is perhaps more a Thunderbird than a Kolab topic.

Thanks,

Georg
