Ok, I understand now. I done some modification and my bind is working fine
now, both with Netscape and Outlook Express.

Thank you for the info :)

Now, a strange behavior occurs with Netscape:

When I perform a search, I get a list of entries result, no problem there.
But when I click an entry to see the properties, Netscape open a new HTML
page and displays not the selected entry, but ALL the entries of my
database!

I found out that when I click an entry in the Netscape list, it's make a
search call to SLAPD. I found out that the search value of "fstr" in the
do_search() function is "(objectclass=*)".

Now, I don't understand why Netscape is sending me this value, since I have
only clicked on one entry.

Does anyone have any ideas on that?
