Matthew, I was able to get it to work on CF 4.5 which I currently have installed on my personal workstation but not in CF 4.0, which we currently have installed on our test and production servers. We are upgrading these servers this summer so I decided to wait until that is completed then move it to production. You will need an account with appropriate rights to LDAP. The first trick is setting up the user directory on the CF server. These settings need to be very specific and the documentation does not provide an appropriate example. My settings are as follows: Edit User Directory Name Distributors Description Testing Namespace LDAP Location directory.gmu.edu Username uid=LDAPaccount, ou=apps, o=gmu.edu Password xxxxxxxxx Secure Connect blank LDAP Settings Search Root o=gmu.edu Lookup Start (&(objectclass=*) (uid= Lookup End )) Search Timeout 10 Search Results 100 Search Scope Subtree Viewing the LDAP log will show if you are successfully making a connection. I previously verified that the LDAP account had sufficient rights by using the CFLDAP tag and adding and deleting accounts on our test LDAP server. If you have verified the account and your connection and you still do not get your authentication to work then you will need to review you Security Context, rules, policies and user directory settings. At first I was connecting but my policies and rules were not set up correctly on the CF server side. This is where I seem to be having my trouble with CF 4.0 verses CF 4.5. It appears that there are additional capabilities in CF 4.5. I can see a difference between the two configurations when I view the map of the security contexts, but for the life of me I cannot get CF 4.0 to work, so I am waiting for the server upgrade. I hope that this helps. If you have more specific questions don't hesitate to ask.
