304450 - Addressbook should display physicalDeliveryOfficeName

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[Martin v. Löwis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

In ActiveDirectory, physicalDeliveryOfficeName (RFC 2256) is presented as
"Office", suggesting that its use is the office (room number) of the object.
This is a reasonable usage (IMO); unfortunately, it is not supported by the
Mozilla address book.

If the physicalDeliveryOfficeName attribute is present, it should be displayed,
e.g. as "Office".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an AD user with a non-empty Office setting
2. Connect to AD using the addressbook LDAP feature
3. Locate the user in the address book

Actual Results:  
The office is not displayed

Expected Results:  
It should be displayed

We now follow the vcard specs, so this is not valid anymore.
