Setup: H4 latest git code and Active Directory on Windows 2000 Server

Clicking on Groups (logged in as administrator) returns the following
error:
A fatal error has occurred
Could not reach the LDAP server
[line 556 of .../horde/framework/Group/lib/Horde/Group/Ldap.php]

Looking at the code (horde/framework/Group/lib/Horde/Group/Ldap.php)
you find the folowing snippet:
        if (isset($this->_params['binddn'])) {
            $bind = @ldap_bind($this->_ds, $this->_params['binddn'],
                               $this->_params['password']);
        } else {
            $bind = @ldap_bind($this->_ds);
        }

        if (!$bind) {
            throw new Horde_Group_Exception('Could not bind to LDAP server');
        }

Well I don't know why one don't see the error "Could not bind to LDAP Server",
maybe it's overwritten by the following Horde_Group_Exeption from the
ldap_search call. Nevertheless, binddn is empty, so an anonymous bind is
tried. Windows 2008 AD Server prevents anonymous binds by default. I couldn't
find any setting in the conf.php named "binddn" nor any in conf.php.dist.
So I replaced those with searchdn (password with searchpw) and it works.

Note: The Group Listing is still empty (as in H3) but this seems to be  
another problem I'm trying to track down in the code.
