[horde] How to fix ActiveSync GAL names showing as "No Name"

(I found the answer before I finished posting, so for anyone with the 
same issue...)

I have a LDAP read-only addressbook configured as GAL for ActiveSync 
devices.
The device (iphone) was getting the email addresses from the GAL, but 
without names (showing as "No Name").

The fix was to add mapping for firstname and lastname to the localldap 
addressbook.
It seems the iphone uses firstname + lastname as display name.

In turba's backends.local.php:

// Add firstname and lastname mapping
$cfgSources['localldap']['map']['firstname'] = 'givenName';
$cfgSources['localldap']['map']['lastname'] = 'sn';

Hope that helps someone.
