            Bug ID: 137070
           Summary: Evolution LDAP address source requires a filter,
                    filtering not possible
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: krumelmonster at zoho.com

I tried this using libreoffice-fresh-7.0.0-2 and libreoffice-still-6.4.6-2 arch
lnux packages.

I set up a local openldap Server using the evolutionperson.schema. In Evolution
I checked the option to "Copy book content locally for offline operation" and
I'm able to list, search, create, delete and edit contacts using Evolution
mail.

I was hoping to use this LDAP-Server as an address source in libreoffice. After
entering the connection details in the address book source wizard, libreoffice
lists the available contact attributes, however once I Finish adding the
source, I get the error message:

"Unable to display the complete table content. Please apply a filter."

and no data is displayed.

Auto-Filtering and search are greyed out and creating a filter fails silently:
when I open the filtering dialog again after setting up a filter, it isn't
there anymore. No address book entries are ever shown.

I can add screenshots and more details later but I'm currently investigating
two other possibly related issues which are issues with the LDAP-Password
dialog (when entrering wrong credentials is will randomly pop up but the
address source wizard will continue, leading to issues) and libreoffice now
becoming reproducibly unresponsive whenever trying to access my address
sources. I will create separate reports on that later – my debug build is
compiling atm.

In general it seems like libreoffice LDAP support is currently not usable. As
noted elsewhere (for example in bug 57322), a rewrite of this functionality
would be desireable and I'm interested in looking into it.
