No, it is you who misunderstand.
I was _asked_ for the DN,
and the only response that worked was "Address Book".

Bizarrely, I just checked, and now any response works -
presumably the DN (or RDN) has been stored somewhere.

KAddressBook had already asked for my host.
The only sense I can make of it is that KAddressBook constructed the DN
from this, together with "Address Book", which I gave in response to "DN".

Incidentally, the reason I did this was that I was following
the yolinux tutorial at
<http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html>.
You are invited to access their LDAP server,
and I found that I could indeed see their address book
in my KAddressBook when I gave Host: ldap.yo-linux.com , DN: o=stooges .
This was following their general instructions, which read (in part):

    * Name: YoLinux Demo
    * Hostname: ldap.yo-linux.com
    * Base DN: o=stooges
