Re: Eudora/Netscape Mail

[Patrick Timmons <ptimmons@courriel.polymtl.ca>]

Hi.

I ran slapd in debug mode and it appears that Eudore 4.3 sends a bind
request with a user of NULL and a password of NULL. No help is available
for the corresponding configuration fields in Eudora. 

So the problem is in Eudora, not in OpenLDAP.
