Address Book, LDAP, and Jabber IDs (NOT showing)?

[Art Izzard]

Hello,

I’m attempting to publish my users Jabber IDs via LDAP from our Tiger Server to Address Book (Tiger Clients). After filling in all the info using Workgroup Manager on the server Address Book connects to the server and pulls down Phone, Email, and Address info correctly. However, the Jabber field remains blank. I’ve tried mucking with the “search base” in Address Book, but all I succeed in doing is loosing all search function.

Strangely, if I set up Directory Access’s LDAP and Contacts search path then search from Address Book (Directory Services) the Jabber ID’s display correctly. So I suppose I can setup Directory Access on all the systems. For some reason I just feel like it should work from Address Book without having to configure anything else.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks,

– Art

I have noticed the same problem. I think it is an ldap thing. In other words, strict LDAP doesn’t recognize the attribute for jabber but directory access does only because it gets its schema from the OD server. If addressbook had that ability rather than using strict LDAP schemas I belive it would work… Hope this is useful
