Alan, Thank you so much for your quick reply. I guess I'm still not understanding something. All the documentation I have been able to find indicates that I do not need to add an Aut-Type for ldap. I would like to authenticate against LDAP. Can you give me the settings that would work for this method of authenticating? I am really thankful for your pointers, they have helped me to understand what is going on, however I still don't know what the solution is. Thank you again for your help. Kent
