[Koha-devel] Ldap Authentication error

[Bobby]

Thanks MJ, I have tried both auth by bind and by comparing password.. 
non of them work. Interestingly the older ldap 3.8 works and 
authenticate against the same ldap using the same ldap configuration as 
3.16 and works without problem.. am starting to think this might have 
been a bug which affects the version of ldap am running because nothing 
else makes sense
