Ok, that's my configuration too. I noticed that it works when I start 
typing someones name, their details is being pulled from IPA. So yes, it 
works. :)

When I did my testing I expected to see the directory when I opened up 
the Address Book in Thunderbird. I see the addresses from "Personal 
Address Book", but there is still none under the "IPA" address book.

I suppose this is a Thunderbird issue and not a IPA issue...?
