Hi All

I'm trying to setup IMP to use LDAP to store user preferences.

Problem: IMP seems to detect the users DN incorrectly.
It tries to bind as "dn: $username,$basedn" which in some cases may
suit the LDAP tree structure but in my case this is incorrect.
The full dn of the user would be
$username,ou=Department,st=state,$basedn. (eg. dn:
uid=foo,ou=IT,st=NSW,o=Company,c=AU is the full dn of user foo. IMP was
trying to bind as uid=foo,c=AU (c=AU is my basedn) which is
incorrect)

Solution: Temporary solution is to bind as rootdn. Is there a solution
yet to this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Gonzalo.
