[Samba] Thunderbird address book issue

[John Gardeniers]

Just for clarity, when I refer to the uid I'm talking about the openldap 
field prior to being imported into Samba 4. I notice that it gets 
stripped out during the migration and the Thunderbird address book is in 
fact displaying the cn, not the uid.

regards,
John
