Kurt, >From your description, I'm not sure I completely understand your LDAP configuration. What I can say is that I have run Continuum and Archiva in a number of LDAP configurations on different LDAP implementations such as Active Directory, OpenLDAP, Novel eDirectory, Apache DS.
As I understand it, you need to have the ability to do two major things: * Search for users * Bind as a user (for non-guest and admin users) There are two ways this is typically done: * Search is privileged and only allowed to a privileged account * Search is open, but ACLs protect any privileged information In the first case, you need an administrative account to satisfy the search for users functionality. In the second case, you don't need an administrative LDAP user. If you can describe a little more about how your configuration differs from one of these, I am happy to help you get it setup. If it doesn't currently work, I'm willing to help make the changes necessary to make it work, provided it is relatively conventional and doesn't invalidate the more conventional setups.
