Hi Axton, Basically, we're going to take what the user enters in for login/password and use that in an attempt to log in to the remote LDAP...not using a bound connection. The other application uses that method, and the LDAP admins says its ok.

With 7.1, there is a new java based plug-in server. The ldap bind is synonymous with a login attempt. So when the area plug-in binds to the ldap server as the authenticating user, the plug-in is acting based on the response code the ldap server returns from the bind operation. How do your ldap admin's want you to authenticate against the ldap server without performing a bind operation?
