For the addressbook, I use an LDAP backend with a schema of nokiaperson I created myself. When I loaded my N85 users to the empty LDAP addressbook, I had one major problem. In case of spaces in the first name like in this data example: Firstname = Core Mattias Lastname = Verbruggen in LDAP this became cn = Core sn = Mattias and the data for lastname was gone. This only happens when syncing because the LDAP address book from within Turba handles spaces in the firstnames just fine. When I resynced afterwards (but changing the protocol from 1.2 to 1.1 on the phone), this doubled the number of addressbook entries in my phone. Syncing again started tripling the data. In horde on the other hand, only 10 entries were added unwanted compared to 500 in my phone. Spaces in address entries did not cause troubles. Now that I cleaned up my data without having any more spaces in firstnames, everything works fine. I would love to help you testing this problem out by adding spaces again to my firstname fields. gr, Willem Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:42:35 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t51970 This almost sounds like the automatic last-name-detection in Turba is triggered somewhere, even though that shouldn't happen if both Turba and the phone use separate fields for first name and last name. Can your post your sources.php and a data.txt from such a sync session?

Just let me know if you want more info from this session. (It seems I can only attach one file at the time?) gr, Willem Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:02:31 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52082 And here is the sources.php Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:08:32 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52083 That all looks fine. Does it also happen when importing that vCard manually into the address book? Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:54:09 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52091 Yes it does. Same error when importing manually. Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:57:14 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52101 Maybe some of our LDAP folks can take a look at it. Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:23:43 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52103 I just had the same problem today. I'm running the Kolab Bundle 2.2.1-beta1 under ubuntu 8.10. I synced my Nokia E71 via SyncML, and the same thing happened with last names with spaces. I have almost 200 last names with spaces as I have first and last names stored in there, because an older phone didn't support them separately. Please let me know what I can do to help track down the problem. Thanks, Nils Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:28:25 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7895#t52271 This is not LDAP related. Turba always cut the "N" field in vCard at the blanks so if you have any name with blanks it get split to VName MiddlName LastName. According to the RFC 2426 Turba import should only split at ";" as far as i can see. Export works fine BTW, but import fails with SyncML and import by file. If you have any device which have no concept of "MiddlName" then part of the name get lost.
