           Summary: Contact information dropped when saving into LDAP and
                    LDAP cache options cannot be set
           Product: kdepimlibs
           Version: 4.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kabc
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rdratlos at yahoo.co.uk


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I tested kaddressbook (4.3) as front-end to manage contacts in a LDAP directory
(addressbook). The server runs openldap 2.4. 

Using kaddressbook important information like role, work address and home
address can be specified for a contact. 

kaddressbook uses kdepimlibs (kabc) for LDAP server based addressbooks.
kdepimlibs
does not support role and work address for LDAP based contacts (addressees) and
discards this information without any information to the user. This applies
also for less important information like blog, IM, custom fields, etc. 

Furthermore, the LDAP cache options cannot be set and saved using the edit
cache dialog of kabc.
