Making a "query" without a "bind" in one sentence makes no sense to me. Be it an anonymous bind or a bind with a dn supplies, you bind, then you search. But this is all besides the point. There might be cases where you already know (or don't need) the user's DN, so a bind-search before the bind might not always be needed. But it seems it's currently simply not possible to configure either a. to use the provided username "as is", or b. to fill in a DN-template (e.g. uid=%s,ou=users,dc=example,dc=org) so this is all rather pointless, until someone contributes code. Also note that while the bind-search-bind might not be necessary in some cases, it should also not pose any problems, neither security nor performance wise. If your DSA can't handle an anonymous bind+search before the bind you're in trouble anyway (e.g. need to index the attribute which is used for searching). cheers, -pete -- peter.scho...@univie.ac.at - vienna university computer center Universitaetsstrasse 7, A-1010 Wien, Austria/Europe Tel. +43-1-4277-14155, Fax. +43-1-4277-9140 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
