[sync] Can not sync contacts from LDAP addressbook

[Mehmet Giritli]

Hey,

I have found a weird pattern.

There are two sync server versions with my nokia. They are 1.1 and 1.2.
As mention on the horde sync pages, 1.2 gives a system error on the
phone. I get no errors with version 1.1 but as I have been crying out, I
cant get it to sync anything.

Now I discovered this: If you first set your server version to 1.2, get
the "system error" and then set the version back to 1.1, you will get
sync properly done. But the next sync will fail with version 1.1 as well
(no errors though), unless you try with version 1.2 first. So, you have
to repeat this procedure every time to have your sync!

I tried this many times already and it happens every time. This is no
coincidence.

Any ideas from this point on?

Moreover, I am thinking that the server version 1.1 also has something
to do with the attributes that are not included in the sync, as I
mentioned earlier.
