Yes, we need to know which ldap server. If it's Windows Active Directory, you don't need to run two queries. You only need to pass the username/password to the cfldap tag. Windows, by default, allows any authenticated user to query the directory. If the query works, you have a valid user. If the query fails, you don't.
For Windows AD, the username should be formatted as one of: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "domain\username" Other ldap servers may work differently and that is probably why Macromedia's docs say to run two queries.

In the first you use the UID filed, depends on your LDAP server, to get teh users DN. THe second query you use this DN and the users password, if this binds you authed. What LDAP server are you using?
