Hi Stuart
Thanks very much for the patch :D
I've downloaded dspace-1.5.2-src-release from Sourceforge and located the
section of the code in the file LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication.java in
/root/dspace-1.5.2-src-release/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate
My next problem is down to ignorance on my part. Once I have patched the
above file what do I need to do to incorporate it into our
existing installation of DSpace, without having to perform a fresh
installation? (I have only worked with the dspace-1.5.2-release up to now).
Are the instructions on the page
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Building_DSpace_From_Source relevant ??
Is there a jar I can copy over after compilation that will do the trick?
Any guidance for a relative newbie would be appreciated ;)
Thanks
Clive
