[CalendarServer-users] Implementing OpenDirectory Autocompletion in LDAP

Tue Jun 10 17:51:14 PDT 2008

I am still having some problems with the iCal auto complete.  My  
openldap server is setup in the Directory utility.  I know it is  
working because I can autocomplete users that are only in the ldap  
server when creating a new email message.

I setup logging on the ldap server to watch the queries come in from  
iCal, from what I can tell, every thing is good.  The ldap server  
appears to be returning the necessary information

I have included a snip from the slapd log that is generated when i  
begin typing a name into the "Attendees" field in iCal

Again, this use will autocomplete when "sally" is typed into Mail.

Is there perhaps some server side code I may be missing?  Does anyone  
know the inner workings of ical and what may be causing my problems?
