I just did another test, this time I maintained a three level "dc" and started. This test was "dc=it,dc=xx,dc=edu". It attempts to read from ldap but of course it doesn't work. The only time so far in my testing, it just returns that unexpected 'syntax error' message in the logs. And I mean unexpected, because reviewing the code it doesn't seem to account for this situation in the error message returned. Seems that most of the syntax error messages will return a 'near xxxxx' with it. Sure seems to be having trouble with "dc=ou".
