    Hi

    I’m working out a method of importing multiple users into an LDAP directory on OS X 10.4.4, and I’ve hit an interesting snag.

    When you export a user from Workgroup Manager, any fields in the user record that contain multiple values (multiple email addresses, work phone numbers, etc) contain their values separated by commas. For example:

    username::::user@firstaddress.com,user@secondaddress.com:::

    However, when I view that LDAP entry in a networked Address Book, it only displays the first value, not the second or subsequent values. I’ve changed the Address Book template to specify multiple emails/phone numbers, but that doesn’t do it.

    If I create my own import file, and pull it into Workgroup Manager, they import correctly into the user record, so I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong on the server side.

    Does anyone know how to make Address Book display all the values?

    Thanks

    Matt
