Re: ldap connection problem

Thanks Paul. I think i solved the problem. Here's how i did it:
1. I passed the filter but without the "ou=people" in the Ldap path
(LDAP://directory.x.y/dc=x,dc=y)
2. This returned the uid from the server.
3. i then built the ldap path again with the necessary DN, hence the final
ldap path was
LDAP://directory.x.y/uid=12345,ou=People,dc=x,dc=y

Thanks for all your efforts Paul
