This is what I'm finding in the log file:

2011-02-07 10:09:04,284 INFO  
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication @ 
anonymous:session_id=36F5668310DE405281CC4104721E98AD:ip_addr=129.62.210.158:auth:attempting

2011-02-07 10:09:04,779 INFO  org.dspace.app.xmlui.utils.AuthenticationUtil @

 realm=null, result=2

The first thing I'm noticing is the anonymous session. Our LDAP server doesn't 
allow anonymous access and our LDAP guy gave me the DN and password of a user 
to put in the config file. He's also double-checked the rest of the LDAP 
related variables to confirm they are correct. So is it normal for it to say 
anonymous in the log file, or is it missing something in the config file?

Thanks,

If you look in your [dspace]/log/dspace.log-{datestamp} file, there should be 
some information saying why the authentication failed.  This might give a clue 
as to what is going on.

rules translate into the virtual world?
