Using Koha 4.02, Ubuntu 10.10
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz, 1 cores (VMware)
Apache version 2.2.16


When authenticating to ActiveDirectory with an account that does not yet exist
on Koha - there is an error returned.

However when the account is already created - authentication works properly

Error:

Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm line 168, <DATA> line 522.
