Hi,

(I've posted this question on Stack Overflow first, but someone told me it belonged here.)

I have a custom LDAP server, which I can customize to generate whichever object class and attributes I need. I'm trying to display people from that server in the Mac OS X address book.

Names and organizations display correctly, as well as work-related phone and address. However, I've never been able to have a home address displayed in the address book.

This is an example of output from running a ldapsearch:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (givenName=Joh*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# 10041, example.com
dn: uid=10041,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: mozillaOrgPerson
uid: 10041
cn: John Doe
givenName: John
sn: Doe
o: Acme
telephoneNumber: 500 00 00
mobile: 500 00 00
mail: [email protected]
street: Baker St
postalCode: 10098
l: New York
c: US
homePostalAddress: White St
mozillaHomePostalCode: 10098
mozillaHomeLocalityName: New York
mozillaHomeCountryName: US

Every piece of information shows up in the address book up to here:

homePostalAddress: White St
mozillaHomePostalCode: 10098
mozillaHomeLocalityName: New York
mozillaHomeCountryName: US

Which object class or attribute name should I use to have the home address show up in the Mac OS X address book?
