Re: Address Book generation of dn field.

i guess it depends on what exactly you gonna be doing with that
write-access support, i mean how far you wanna take it. if its
the same user modifying its own entry then you already have dn
and if you wanna add new entries / new users you gonna have to
figure out where to add them to and hence your dn question here
i guess. i would take dn of the user you already bound as for
this [user provided thru prefs] so it gives you the right form
that is likely to be taken well by the server straight away.
