Just beginning with LDAP and have imported outlook records into a directory. that look like this: enter image description here

Have also edited individual addresses in in the Apache Directory Studio any number of ways to show the street, and city, state on separate lines like a conventional address would look enter image description here

but later looking at them from the address book they appear as:

enter image description here

obviously the $ is used to wrap the second part of the address, but is there a way to not show that in the address book output? a different character in substitution?

What is doing this? Apache Diretory Studio is showing it as a comma, but in edit mode it shows nothing. And does it matter at all? or just a potential confusion for users?

I might add, that adding the contact back to an outlook client pulls in the $

Using ApacheDS which may have some peculiar impact on this or not.

This link has the information describing the format of the postalAddress attribute.

Have you looked at the syntax of that attribute? I happen to know in eDirectory that postalAddress uses a funky syntax that has 6 components. You would see them # separated in eDirectory.

I wonder if your directory service (undisclosed) has some interesting syntax for this attribute, beyond simple strings?
