Going to: Settings -> Configure Kontact -> LDAP Server Settings -> Edit Host In the configuration window select "simple auth", BindDN and Password fields will be activated. Enter credentials to connect to LDAP server (your user DN and password, e.g. uid=user,o=People,dc=kolabsys,dc=com) and click query server. Looking at tcpdump/wireshark packet capture it is clearly seen, that Kontacts tries to connect to LDAP anonymously and is rejected the connection.
