Details

Using TB 1.5.0.10 on W-XP SP2, LDAP addressbook download for offline use is not working.

Reproduced on two different machines with different LDAP servers (openLDAP2 2.3.9 on SuSE Linux) and MS Active Directory on W2k3.

connection/bind is possible, auto-completion works in both cases. download does NOT in both cases. No error is displayed. Just the addressbook is empty.

Sniffing with Wireshark (after deactivating SSL for LDAP) I can see a very short message for my configured base-dn (ou=addressbook,dc=my-name,dc=de) and an almost empty result.

It looks to me that TB just does a BASE search instead of a SUB search and therefore does not get any further results which are one level beneath my base-dn.

Can anyone confirm?
Are you using a bind dn/authenticated connection to talk to the LDAP server? If so, then this is a duplicate of bug 316170. Please comment back here in either case.
Yes, I'm using an authenticated connection to talk to both of the LDAP servers. I think it is a typical "bind dn" authentication.

Ok, then it won't work in TB due to errors in the code. It'll be fixed in bug 316170. Therefore marking as duplicate of that bug.
