355533 - LDAP does not correctly interpret LDIF format

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 241220

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Karl Lattimer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060808 Fedora/1.5.0.6-3 Firefox/1.5.0.6 pango-text
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.7

The LDIF format specifies that displayName and commonName are two separate entities in the schema, thunderbird interprets commonName as displayName even when a displayName is present in the LDIF information returned by the server. This behaviour is incorrect and should interpret displayName as displayName when present

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View an ldif entry in the address card with the ldif entity displayName set
Actual Results:  
commonName is displayed in the displayName field, which should be displayed in its own commonName field.

Expected Results:  
displayName in the ldif should be represented by thunderbird as displayName and commonName should be represented as commonName
