Contact objects are not available to add to DLs in the Web Interface (197610)

Contact objects are not available to add to DLs in the Web Interface

When using the Web Interface to add objects as members of a DL. Clicking the Members command will show the current membership list, including any Contacts that are already members of the DL. When clicking Add to bring up the Select Object dialog to add new members, the search will NOT return any Contact objects. The Select Object dialog, will return User, Computer and Group objects, but will not return Contact objects. You can add Contacts to groups using the Web Interface from the perspective of the Contact object itself (e.g. Search for and select the Contact, click the Member Of command, use Select Object to search for the DL, select it and click OK.
