Hi,

i have a problem with the LDAP-Authentication (and maybe the search filter).

debug.log:

2005.11.11 16:45:25 Exception thrown when searching for userDN based on username ‘‘fehmsen’’

The User fehmsen has an Alias with the same name in a subcontainer. I tried following searchfilter:

But with no success.

Any Idea?

Thanks for the help.

Could you post your LDAP configuration (the contents of the ‘‘ldap’’ element in jive-messenger.xml)?

Is the ‘‘uid’’ attribute part of the RDN? Are there any other attributes in the RDN (i.e. do you use compound RDN)?

Btw, in the search filter you have posted, the (ui d=) has a space between ‘‘ui’’ and ‘‘d’’.
