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.
Just for your information, there are very few patches concerning Base. If you're interested in contributing LO for code part, you can start here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved The first step is indeed to retrieve sources and build them.

krumelmonster: I noticed you indicated:"a rewrite of this functionality would be desireable and I'm interested in looking into it". Is it still the case? I mean, you may give a try by following this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved ? Also, search about "Unable to display the complete table content" I got STR_DATA_CANNOT_SELECT_UNFILTERED. From this, I got in connectivity/source/commontools/sqlerror.cxx: 125 case css::sdb::ErrorCondition::DATA_CANNOT_SELECT_UNFILTERED: 126 return STR_DATA_CANNOT_SELECT_UNFILTERED; From DATA_CANNOT_SELECT_UNFILTERED, I see in connectivity/source/drivers/evoab2/NResultSet.cxx: 664 switch ( _rData.eFilterType ) 665 { 666 case eFilterNone: 667 if ( !m_pVersionHelper->isLocal( pBook ) ) 668 { 669 SQLError aErrorFactory; 670 SQLException aAsException = aErrorFactory.getSQLException( ErrorCondition::DATA_CANNOT_SELECT_UNFILTERED, *this ); 671 m_aWarnings.appendWarning( SQLWarning( 672 aAsException.Message, 673 aAsException.Context, 674 aAsException.SQLState, 675 aAsException.ErrorCode, 676 aAsException.NextException 677 ) ); 678 bExecuteQuery = false; 679 } 680 break; It's been added with this commit here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=33e3bcc6dacf4437fa82b00e83e0176a7a726e75 in 2009
