Address Book see the email address for a "Shared Contact", Directory

accounts).
I suspect that the two sets of software are using different LDAP base
addresses somehow. It should be possible to use an LDAP viewer to
find the new entries and see what it is about them that's different to
the ones created in Workgroup Manager. This sort of stuff is
difficult to diagnose when you're not on the spot and can't see the
problem yourself.
I don't have an answer but I have the same problem. If you add an
email address to a user in Workgroup Manager it puts it in the
EMailAddress record but if you do it from Directory it puts it in
EMailContacts. Both applications see the street address information
no matter what program was used to enter the data.
That is not the same problem, and it's expected behaviour given how
Apple have written Workgroup Manager.
I think there should be a way to customize the schema using
Directory Utility so that EmailContacts maps to EMailAddress but
surely this shouldn't be necessary. I've tried to do this but
haven't been able to make it work.
The problem is that 'address' will accept just one address, whereas
Apple wanted to use a system that would accept a list of addresses.
It's not a great solution, as you have pointed out.
