[SOGo] Users not returned as meeting attendees

[Peter B]

Ubuntu 14.04, SOGo 3 nightlies (currently 3.0.1.20160304-1)

When adding attendees to an event users are not returned as search results.

(output below is form live system with search/replace on domains and
users - client privacy and all that)

From sogo.conf

mydomain.com = {
SOGoMailDomain = mydomain.com;
SOGoUserSources = (
{
type = ldap;
CNFieldName = cn;
UIDFieldName = uid;
IDFieldName = uid; // first field of the DN for direct binds
baseDN = "dc=users,dc=maindomain,dc=com";
canAuthenticate = YES;
hostname = ldap://127.0.0.1:389;
id = public_mydomaincom;
isAddressBook = YES;
filter = "(uid='*@mydomain.com')";
}
);
}

I've not reported this as a bug as I'm not certain of the intended
functionality - is the attendee field supposed to return results from
the user base, or should all users that might be attendees be added
manually to the address book? I would have expected SOGo to return users
as attendees in the same way it returns users in search boxes for, say,
sharing folders in the Web UI.

Indeed, typing "john" into the search field for and "Access Rights"
dialog results in the exact same log entry above minus the trailing
address book search. The result is also successfully returned in the Web
UI, whereas the attendee field returns nothing.

Is the trailing contacts search somehow destroying the ldap search
results? Or something else?

Peter.
