Max, It sounds like you might be looking to use LDAP Hierarchical Authentication with DSpace, rather than the basic LDAP auth. I ran into this issue a few months ago (with Active Directory, but the separate LDAP container issues are the same), and I wrote up a wiki page on how I solved it:

I do have a problem with needing to search multiple OUs, I can only figure out how to setup the config to search one OU. We run Novell 6.5 and have a container for STUDENTS (ou=STUDENTS,o=CARTHAGE), a container for STAFF (ou=STAFF,o=CARTHAGE), and a container for FACULTY (ou=FACULTY,o=CARTHAGE). How can I set it up in dspace.cfg to have all three of those as a search base? I've tried just using o=CARTHAGE, and that doesn't seem to work. Thanks for any info! -- Max McGrath Asst.
