Re: LDAP authentication with uid

[Cole <cole@opteqint.net>]

Hi Mary,

If this is similar to ssh auth against LDAP using uid, the dn would
look like the following
dn: uid=christine,ou=ELOGAccounts,ou=RavenApps,dc=my-domain,dc=com

Now I am not sure how Apache does the lookup, but if I am wrong, maybe
someone else can reply.

Regards
