another attribute for authentication.</span> <br>

<span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080'>I’ll let Pat
chime in here, but it would definitely be worthwhile trying this with the
pre-release version of toolkits we now have ready for final testing out in the
community. We can send you the files, or make a link available. If others have
access to a server and would like to try the pre-release version please let us
know. We’d like to give a people a chance to discover any issues there might be
in rolling this out to disparate systems,</span> <br>

<span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080'>I’ll ask Pat to

have version 1.0 completed by the end of this week, so any final feedback would
be brilliant,</span> <br>

<br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dear List,</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
I installed toolkits 0.9 from the website in my local XAMPP. I also have a
working locale installation of OpenLDAP (Mac OS X). The structure is as
follows:</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
dc=example,dc=com</span> <span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
ou=people</span> <span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
cn=user1</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
In Xerte I use the following settings:</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
$site->ldap_host = "ldap://localhost";</span> <span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
$site->ldap_port = 389;</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
$site->bind_pwd="supersecret";</span> <span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
$site->basedn="dc=example,dc=com";</span> <span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
$site->bind_dn = 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com';</span> <br>
<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
When I try to login with "user1" Xerte it tells me: "Sorry that
password combination was not correct". <br>
I think Xerte doesn't know which attribute to look for the username?!</span> <br>
