It doesn't really matter, but I don't understand your response.
KAddressBook=>LDAP Lookup asks you for your "DN", not your "RDN".
If they had asked me for my RDN I would have looked that up

As it was I gave the DN as defined by you above,
and was told there was a "DN Syntax Error".
When I gave the RDN it worked.
