(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect)

Description

[Phil Gregory]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3; MultiZilla v1.3.1 (a)) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3; MultiZilla v1.3.1 (a)) Gecko/20030312

When I make changes to the properties for an LDAP directory, those changes do
not take effect until I've exited and restarted Mozilla.  This is also true for
adding directories--after going through the process of adding a directory, it
doesn't appear in the list until Mozilla has been exited and restarted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Open Address Book.
2a.1 - File | New | LDAP Directory...
2a.2 - Enter information on a directory.
2a.3 - Click "OK".
2a.4 - Directory does not appear in "Address Books" pane.
2b.1 - Right click on an existing directory.
2b.2 - Change the properties in a way that affects lookups (change server or      
       base DN)  (Note that bind DN changes appear to take effect immediately.)
2b.3 - Run a query.
2b.4 - The query will run as if the settings had not been changed.
3 - Exit Mozilla.
4 - Start Mozilla.
5 - Go to Address Book.
6a - Directory now appears.
6b - Queries are now run with the new settings.
Actual Results:  
As listed in the steps to reproduce.

Expected Results:  
The changes and additions should take effect immediately.
