[Kde-pim] KAddressBook LDAP write access

[Thomas Wunder]

Hi,
I'm trying to have kaddressbook (kontact 4.8.4) propagate modifications of  
individual entries  to openldap based addressbook  for hours now without any 
success.
What I want to do is basically manage my ldap address book (i.e. add, modify 
and delete contacts) through kontact. Therefore I added a new LDAP resource 
under "Address Books" (LDAPv3, simpleauth, admin credentials(!), filter: 
objectClass=*, no encryption(!), 'Sub-tree query' option checked) which seems 
to work when I click on "Load into cache" under <my LDAP Resource>->"Resource 
Configuration"->"Offline Use".

However it seems that this is the only chance to have kaddressbook talk to the 
LDAP service (just for reading, i.e. it retrieves the one test entry that i've 
created manually). Writing doesn't work at all. Watching the debug log of my 
ldap service revealed that – except for the afforementioned – there is no 
communication attempt from the kaddressbook. other programs however do connect 
to my LDAP service without any problems.
can you give me any hint what could go wrong here or how I can debug the 
problem?

There are a couple of sites which say that LDAP write access would work in 
KAddressBook and others say it wouldn't – what is actually true? Which are the 
config files that are involved and is there a chance to crank up the debug 
level? I there any manual that describes how a LDAP ressource is added 
correctly to KAddressBook?

Thanks!
 Tom
