Problems with enterprise Kontact and LDAP lookup

[ITSEF Admin]

Hi all,

I'm currently experimenting with the "enterprise" Kontact client (744693
 right now, on Kubuntu 7.10). I've used the kolabwizard to set up all
 accounts, but I'm still having problems with LDAP lookups. Whenever I try to
 do so in "Contacts", I get:

LDAP server returned the error: Invalid DN syntax
Additional info: invalid DN
The LDAP URL was: ldap://SERVER:389

Also, LDAP addresses do not show up when composing a new mail.

When I look at "Settings -> Configure Address Book -> LDAP Lookup", I
have "Security" to "No" and "Authentication" to "Simple" (I cannot get any
SSL/TLS to work *at all* - I'm getting "certificate errors"). "User" has the
correct user, "Bind DN" and "Realm" are empty and greyed out, I leave the
password empty (and supply it on demand) and "Host" is set to the correct
server. "Port" is 389 as expected, "LDAP version" = "3", Size and time limit
are default and the DN is set to "dc=DOM,dc=AIN" when I do "Query Server".
As far as I can see these settings are the same as for the proko2 (2.1.12)
client I use with the same server (which works without a problem with LDAP).

I have no idea why this doesn't work - any suggestion welcome... :-} Also, I 
cannot find any suitable logfile on the server 
(/kolab/var/openldap/openldap.log only shows the start-ups, it seems) - is 
there anything else I can look at?

Cheerio,

Thomas
