Hi Stuart
You kindly helped me customise the special groups code in
/home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication.java
to differentiate between staff and student login.
I have just downloaded and built dspace 1.7.0 from source and the LDAP
authentication won't now work on our test server.
Before I start looking for silly errors in dspace.cfg can you please
confirm that the patch below should work properly with 1.7.0
Thanks very much
Clive

catch (Exception npe) {
// The user is not an LDAP user, so we don't need to worry about them
}
return new int[0];
