Hi,

I tried to search all users in an MS ADS/LDAP directory within a particular
department. So I used the thunderbird address book to query the LDAP database
for all users where "Department is abc". But instead of asking for LDAP
entries with (department=abc)  the addressbook asks for entries with 
(ou=abc), and thus does not find them.

regards
Hadmut

Related to/duplicate of Core bug 126749?

Yeah, looks as if it is related.

But actually you should not go too much into details, it is more 
related to the general LDAP problem. The LDAP addressbook is far
to inflexible and requires a rewrite. See bugs 86405, 116692, 282223. 

It will never be possible to find a mapping between Mozilla addressbook entries
and LDAP entries or address book requirements, since LDAP data structures are
too different. Mozilla would need a fully configurable address book.

regards
Hadmut
