LDAP Contact Photo

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Update : it works OK now with version 0.4.0. Thanks Piotr ! Five stars !

I've been waiting for a long time for such an add'on, as I was a previous user of DCTab for Thunderbird 3.1. But this LDAP Contact Photo doesn't work presently on my system on Thunderbird 16.

I've found the explaination : it's because we are using an ldap server with no login nor password for reading. The add'on is working when I test it with a password.

Could you fix it, please ? I'll be happy to test it.Thanks.

The 3 stars are an encouragment for this great functionnality

Update : v0.3.0 does not work either. In practice, Thunderbird does not ask for any password : it just shows the "adress card" of the people that I select, and the photo is in grey.

Update : It's not a question of having saved the password. We really use an ldap server with "anonymous" login. I can give you details on the ldap query structure by mail. In that case, I suspect that TB may use simplified calls to the server.

Update : Thanks for the reply. As I tell you, when I use the addon with a registred user and a password, it works. But it doesn't with anonymous login. I had a look in your source file, and I tested a few things, but I am not expert in java and I can't do anymore (for instance, I would like to try to prompt the ldap query, in order to see (a) if the query occurs, and (b) the exact syntax, but I don't know how to do). I suspect (but I'm not sure) that TB did not go through the addon in case of anonymous login.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.0). 

Directory Contact Tabs

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

We are using this module with a lot of satisfaction to give acess to the end users to different pieces of information stored in our internal ldap directory like room location, work groups, jpegphoto, etc..

It's really worth taking some time to configure it !

But it is no more working on Thunderbird 9. It's not only a question of declaring the max version in the xpi file as, when modified and tested, a "unsuccessful search on directory" error arise.

Please adapt it as soon as possible !
