We’ve been using a 3.5.x deployment for quite a while and upon upgrading to 3.6.x had massive problems with the LDAP. I could never get through the LDAP configuration completely, even after I was able to get the first screen to authenticate corerctly. I tried doing a clean install of Openfire on a fresh VM and ran into the same problem. Almost out of ideas, I installed 3.5.2 on another VM using identical settings and it works perfectly (of course, in so doing I had to create/use another db as some mappings are different).
I haven’t been able to determine what is going on with this, and I don’t even really know where to start… is this a bug in 3.6.x that is prevelant or is it something perhaps in my db.
Our setup is all Win2k with AD and SQL2005.
Thanks for any help with this.
