Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[hcaley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

Address autocompletion when using our Exchange 5.5 server was pretty much
instantaneous.  We upgraded to Exchange 2003 and lookups now take 25+ seconds. 
This is only on Linux; it seems to work properly on Thunderbird on Solaris,
MacOSX and FreeBSD.

I've tried this on Fedora Core 3 and on RedHat 9.  Fedora version was
thunderbird-0.9-1.fc3; I also tried thunderbird 1.0 downloaded from mozilla.org
on both FC3 and RedHat 9; same problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type in a name address completion
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Takes 25+ seconds to return with addresses

Expected Results:  
should take a second or less to return

Tried with several different desktops, no change.  Tested with Thunderbird 1.0
on Windows, MacOSX, Solaris and FreeBSD; unable to duplicate on these platforms.

Anyone tried this yet?  Anything further I can do?

This only happens when using port 389 to query the Active Directory server. 
When using port 3268 (the "Global Catalog" port) queries are fast.

Queries on port 389 do work, but they take a long time.
