RE: Authentication and Clients

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

Netscape always does an anonymous search for your email address and then
tries to bind again using whatever entry it found. It seems stupid to me
that there's no way to configure it with an explicit bind DN but I've tried
various changes in the prefs file with no success.
