Directory assistance and external LDAP

hi all,

we have configured a domino 7.0 server to have a directory assistance setup for an external ldap server .

it allows me to authenticate properly on a nsf residing on this server.

but the problem is when i keep a field as @Name

it returns me the value as uid=tuser/ou=people/o=xyz.abc.com/o=abc

if i change the field values to @Text(@Name([CN];@UserName)) it is blank.

the acl on my nsf is set for default as editor rights.

the external ldap server is a Sun Java Directory server 6.0.

any more information required please let me know.

thanks in advance
