Hi folks,

Just to confirm, does DSpace perform a two step check and then bind for
authentication?  I ask, because I've been talking to the fellow who has
access to our LDAP server logs and he has informed me that it appears as
though DSpace is attempting to bind with uid=jnugent,dc=unb,dc=ca, which
is obviously incorrect.  What it *should* be doing is an initial search
with (uid=jnugent) as a filter, using the
ldap.search_user/search_password, and then retrieving the DN for my
record and binding with that, and the supplied password.  In my case, my
 full DN is unbCaId=XXXXXXX,ou=people,dc=unb,dc=ca where XXXXXX is a
unique string. Our users would never know what that string was.

It sounds as though the setting for ldap.object_context is involved in
this, since it is appended to the ldap.id_field and username, but in my
case, I'd want it appended to unbCaID=XXXXXX, not my uid=jnugent string.

Regards,

Jason
