Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100608 Thunderbird/3.1

I'm trying to add my companies LDAP server. However, whatever I type in the "Directory Server Properties Dialog", the "Find" button remains disabled, and clicking "Ok" does not add any entry to the "LDAP Directory Servers" list.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the LDAP Directory Servers dialog via 'Options' -> 'Composition' -> 'Addressing' -> Checking "Directory Server:" box -> "Edit Directories ...". The "LDAP Directory Server:" dialog pops up, with none listed. 
2. Click "Add", the "Directory Server Properties" dialog opens.


Things I put into the dialog:

Name: Exchange
Hostname: ldap.nokia.com
Base DN: o=nokia
Actual Results:  
Whether I fill in all input fields under "General" or not, the "Find" button remains disabled. Also, when clicking "Ok" no entry is added to the "LDAP Directory Servers" list.

Expected Results:  
Feedback whether my input is valid or not. It may be that I misunderstood the dialog / put wrong values in, but then I should get somehow a warning about this. Also, the "Ok" button should only be enabled when afterwards, it actually stores the results.

This is a fresh install of Thunderbird 3.1 RC2 on a PC without any previous THunderbird installation.

Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

Can you try to log ldap as described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging and see what you get in that log ?

Btw 3.1 final is out.

The upgrade to 3.1 final did indeed fix it! That is, the new LDAP server is now added t the LDAP DIrectory Servers list when clicking "Ok" in the "Directory Server Properties". The "Find" button is, however, still always disabled for me.

Thanks for the quick reply, Kai
