[rt-users] eDirectory authentication and creation

[Kyle Gordon]

Well, it mostly works now. I left if for a while and came back to it late on 
Friday night. After some random tests, I decided to ignore the 
documentation... Where Jim Meyer had suggested using 
Set($LdapServer, 'foo.bar');, it actually needed $LdapServer="foo.bar";. 
Rinse and repeat for the rest of the relevant directives.

I don't know if this qualifies as a bug, but at least the information is out 
there now.
