OM does not bind with full DN

Hi All,

am configuring OM 2.1 for Novell eDirectory. To troubleshoot I'm 
sniffing everything happening on the LDAP server.

This is the sequence of things

1. bind with admin DN (you see the full DN)
2. search for what was entered as userfield with the property in the 
LDAP file for "field_user_principal"
3. you see the search result with the full DN
4. authentication of the user.

Step 4 goes wrong however: I see OM trying to authenticate with only the 
username, and not the full DN.

Is this a bug?


Cheers,


BC

Seems very similar to

http://markmail.org/message/jgkeonu3kzqgm4nv#query:+page:1+mid:4swrd7jq5ozf6e3x+state:results

So this does not work for OpenLDAP either. But since ldap_server_type is 
set to "OpenLDAP", the full DN should be used for binding, however, it 
does not with my install 
(apache-openmeetings-2.1.0.r1441250-31-01-2013_2314.tar.gz)

It is supposed to be fixed in

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-144

but I still seem to have problems with it.

In partial reply to my own question: I suppose the "domain" field is 
created for the purpose of constructing a full user name to bind with. 
But for eDirectory this does not work, one needs to be able to bind with 
the full DN.
