[sync] Help with iPhone/Funambol sync

Tue Jan 20 03:14:58 UTC 2009

I'm trying to sync an iPhone with Horde using the Funambol plugin.  There 
appear to be two errors (see /tmp/sync/log.txt below):
1.  There is some issue of the strength of my authentication.  I'm guessing 
this might have something to do with the LDAP server, but I am not using the 
security directive to set some ssf number requirement.
2.  "Invalid DN syntax".  It appears that the DN is not formed correctly.

The iPhone (Funambol plugin) reads "Synchronization successful", but no 
contacts are synced.

Clearly, there LDAP is involved here at least as much as sync, but I'm 
hoping someone has seen this sort of thing and knows what to do.

Any suggestions are much appreciated thank you.
