[turba] adding contacts to OpenLDAP driven Turba

[Chris J Albertson]

Yup yup. Same experience here.
I got around this by customizing Turba to allow me to enter the Sirname.
Here is what I did:

1) Add the sirname to the config/attributes.php file to define what it is.
Here's mine:
$attributes['sirname'] = array(
    'label' => _("Sirname"),
    'type' => 'text',
    'required' => false
);

2) Added the sirname field to the "map" section of the LDAP config in the
config/sources.php file. Here is what my map looks like:
'map' => array(
        '__key' => 'dn',
        'name' => 'cn',
        'title' => 'title',
        'sirname' => 'sn',
        'company' => 'o',
        'email' => 'mail',
        'homePhone' => 'homephone',
        'workPhone' => 'telephonenumber',
        'cellPhone' => 'mobile',
        'fax' => 'facsimiletelephonenumber',
        'homeAddress' => 'homepostaladdress',
        'workAddress' => 'postaladdress',
        'notes' => 'description',
        'pgpPublicKey' => 'pgppublickey',

    ),

Add these two things and you'll have yourself a new field to use with your
contacts and it will store the sirname information.

I hope this helps.

Quoting Bernhard Erdmann <be at berdmann.de>:

 Hi,
 
 Turba misses to add sn (surname) to a newly inserted contact. sn is
 required by objectclass person.
 
 Turba-cvs is connected to an OpenLDAP (2.1.17) server. When I try to add
 a new contact, turba tells me an error after entering the name and
 telephone number when clicking to "Save".
 
 The LDAP server logs:

 Apparently, sn (surname, here Bxxx) is missing to be generated by turba
 using the full name (cn).
