Hi Keir, there are many ways how LDAP can be set up, therefore making a generic module to suit everyone is hard. The hard part is testing all possible scenarios.
I just wanted to note that you can still copy in the old LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication module (or any other auth module) from an older version of DSpace and it will work just fine (with the old authentication-ldap.cfg). Of course, that's a workaround and I appreciate you're trying to find a solution to the problem.
