I have a possibly related issue: This instance of sogod 2.0.0 (release version) on centos 6.3 runs against a Win2k8r2 active directory. It authenticates fine, anyhow once i try to subscribe to another users adress book, calendar or write him an email, i.e. try to access resources from the configured shared addressbook I get the log entry

2012-09-28 20:29:35.170 sogod[6445] -[NGLdapConnection _searchAtBaseDN:qualifier:attributes:scope:]: search with at base filter for attrs `

as described above. I'ld expect to see the actual values beiing queried here. And more I'ld love to see that user search working as then I'ld be able to use it as groupware. Other than that I bug I am rather impressed up to now.

The defaults are configured as follows:

sogod SOGoSMTPServer smtpserver
sogod SOGoUserSources '(
{
CNFieldName = cn;
IDFieldName = cn;
UIDFieldName = userPrincipalName;
baseDN = "CN=Users,DC=test,DC=foo,DC=bar";

bindFields = (
sAMAccountName,

bindPassword = password;
canAuthenticate = YES;
displayName = "Active Directory";
hostname = "dc";

isAddressBook = YES;

}
)'

The directory looks like a almost pristine Windows 2008r2 active directory domain services directory. No unix services installed, no extra OUs, no fancy attributes added, just a few users and groups.

• Passwords and private domain parts have been exchanged for privacy reasons and are valid in the real installation. *

Something that seemed to have had effect was raising the access rights of the bind user being used. In the first place it was a "Domain User" now it is a "Account Operator" and "Domain Admin".

The log still has the
"2012-09-28 20:29:35.170 sogod[6445] -[NGLdapConnection _searchAtBaseDN:qualifier:attributes:scope:]: search with at base filter for attrs `"
log messages, anyhow now the users get shown on completion or in resource selection.

One odd thing though is: A few users are not searchable. There are for example "Test1" and "Test2" as well as "John Doe". "John Doe" is found, even substrings of it starting from three characters length, while any substring of "Test" ist not found. Debugging yields no logs on this.

Can you retry with the next nightlies?

Which of the claimed issues have been tackled, i.e. what should I look for while testing?
Are there any rpms (better: a repo) of the nightlies for CentOS 6?

The issue in question would be the crash that occurs during addressbook subscription. Thus the issue that led to the opening of this bug report...

Do you still have the crash with either 2.0.2a or a nightly build?

No feedback provided in months, closing. Reopen if necessary, with the required answers/evidences.
