Recently I installed Thunderbird (email client) and hooked it up to Ldap.
I set up the LDAP server as follows:
Port(default) : 389
Base DN : dc=organization, dc=com
Bind DN : myuser@organization.com
Filter(default) : (objectclass=*)
The Problem:
1. Whenever I tried to compose a new mail - the auto-complete feature of the "To" field either wasn't working at all or brought limited number of names from the Ldap server - without bringing the name that I was looking for.
On the other hand within the address book everything worked fine (searching / finding etc).
Very strange behavior...
2. Another thing I noticed was, that whenever I tried to create local replica of LDAP catalog - download failed.
Solution:
Solution I found for those two problems was to change the default port to 3268 which is apparently port for searching in Global Catalog.
