Re: Eudora 4.2 and openldap authentication not working

[Jeff Clowser <jclowser@aerotek.com>]

What's the record look like, and what are your access restrictions?
Looks like in the first, you bind as a user, but in the second,
Eudora is only binding as anonymous, so if for some reason
anonymous can't read the cn field, that could be it.  Also,
the first looks at cn, givenname, and sn.  The second only
looks at the cn attribute.  Normally I would expect cn would be
a combination of givenname and sn, but it doesn't have to be.

The first (access control issues) could just be a matter of your
Eudora configuration, while the second looks like a change in the
behaviour of Eudora.
