LDAP not returning correct field info

C

cleagl

Greetings,

I am using Outlook 2003 SP2 on Windows XP Pro. I have Outlook connector for
oracle calendar installed and a LDAP service. The LDAPservice is not
operating correctly and I am wondering if there is any configuration I can do
to correct the problems. They are as follows:
1. Under the "Tools/Find" function in Address Book, the "Display Name"
field returns a timed-out. Only if I specify(query) an either "First name"
or "Last name" field do I get a valid return.

2. Partial name variants are not supported (or don't seem to be)
example a) Rob/Bob/Robert or Tom/Thomas don't return variants
example b)<firstname> and <lastname> only returns an exact match, not
variants of matches
(e.g. Tom Smith only returns no matches, does not return Thomas Smith
whereas in Eudora LDAP T Smith returns any Smith with "t" in a prior name.)

3. In LDAP there appear to be 26 fields (as found using Eudora). Outlook
returns only 7 fields, yet has the capacity for 28 fields. Seems to me there
is a missing something-or-other that maps the appropriate fields from LDAP to
Outlook Address Book.

I have configured Mail\Setup\Email accounts\Directory Service (LDAP)
Settings\More Settings\Search\Search base:
“ou=people, o=<orgname>, c=USâ€
(I prefer “orgname“ to be confidential, but I know it is correct)

Is there any other settings or configuration I can do to correct the error
in field mapping?
Please HELP!
TIA
