Greetings!

This is probably an easy one for the vets, but my Googlefu is weak.  On an ARS 
9.1 (no ITSM) system, I have been attempting to set up AREA to authenticate via 
LDAP.  Authentication is failing.  I was trying to use LDAPS, but I have 
reverted back to just LDAP so that I can eliminate any issues regarding SSL for 
now.  The user account that I'm using as my test is present in the User form 
with a blank password.  Since I don't know if the listserv allows for 
screenshots, here are the settings that I have.


EA tab in Server Information

----

RPC Program Number:  390695

RPC timeout:  30

Need To Sync:  300

Authenticate Unregistered Users:  not checked

Cross Reference Blank Password:  checked

Authentication Chaining Mode:  AREA - ARS

Group Mapping:  blank

Ignore Excess Groups:  checked



AREA LDAP Configuration

----

Host Name:  ldap.etsu.edu

Port Number:  389

Bind User:  domain\username

Bind Password:  (supplied)

User Secure Socket Layer:  No

Failover Timeout:  5

Chase Referral:  No

User Base:  ou=FacStaff,dc=etsu,dc=edu

User Search Filter:  cn=$\USER$

Group Membership:  None


Nothing else is filled in on the AREA configuration form.  With the User Base, 
an issue I'm going to run into with that is that user accounts are placed in 
different OUs based on their status with the university.  I had tried a User 
Base of just "dc=etsu,dc=edu", but I don't know if that will work.


I would appreciate any assistance with this.


Thanks!
