> The problem is that my users are in differents branches in the ldap

> backends.local.php I can only especify a only branch to construct  
> the user dn.

>         // Determine the user's DN. %u will be replaced by the user's ID.
>         //'userdn' => 'uid=%u,o=example.com'
>
>
> I need a method to search the "dn" of the user, then use this dn to  
> bind to LDAP and change the password (AKA "indirect binding)
>
> The ldap driver contains this commented line:
>
>  // @todo Fix finding the user DN.
>  // $this->_userdn = $this->_ldap->findUserDN($username);
>
> Can somebody suggest me a hook or method to obtain the user dn  
> through a ldap search?
