urn:uuid:....-Notation instead of Email in iCal 3 and Thunderbird/Lightning



We successfully managed to integrate a Mac OS X 10.6 Server into our infrastructure (OpenLDAP, OS X 10.6.4 Server on XServe) for testing purposes.

But the Calendar Server gives us an odd issue (logging in works without any problem). When inviting other members it accepts the email address (so the Mapping of "EMailAddress" to the LDAP attribute "mail" is successful) but replaces it to the
<urn:uuid:...the guid....>. It is not possible to write mail to these addresses.



Why does iCal server does that? Is there a configuration glitch to make the server use the "mailto:"-cua (calendar user address) in CalDAV?


With other CalDAV clients (other than iCal) it gets worse due to the fact that people *WANT* to write mail to these people.

I'll see (as an example)

pascal.gienger <urn:uuid:4D536DEF-FC0C-4BF6-996C-EE2796EF35A0>


Our LDAP schema has a "apple-generateduid" attribute (apple.schema) and it is tied to "GeneratedUID" (made with Directory Utility).


A

dscl /LDAPv3/our.ldap.server -read /Users/pascal.gienger

shows the following attributes (our.ldap.server replaced with our internal LDAP IP)

AppleMetaNodeLocation: /LDAPv3/our.ldap.server

All values make sense and are reasonable for me.


Login via ssh with this user id works. The web interface to create blogs, wikis and the web calendar is also functional with my user credentials.


(the carddav server/addressbook is also working flawlessly).


Did I forget a mapping?
