Hi Max,

Yes - looks like there's a bit of a logic flow problem going on there - the 
check for an empty email is being performed twice, and the first is not needed. 
Try looking at 
[dsapce-src]/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication.java
 and find the line:

if ((ldap.ldapEmail!=null)&&(!ldap.ldapEmail.equals("")))

(about line 254) and change it to:

if (true)

Rebuild, redeploy etc. If may throw a null pointer exception, if so, add just 
before the if statement:

if (ldap.ldapEmail == null) ldap.ldapEmail = "";

If this fixes the problem, we'll look at getting it corrected in the next 
release.

Thanks,
