It looks a little like there's a problem restoring the unset state too. Is it worth doing an 'uninit' to zap whatever's been done? I'd then try to repeat the 'manual' run, but with different parameters. I suspect one of the parameters is causing breakage; in particular I found I *had* to set proxyDN and proxyPassword even though they wouldn't be used. Cheers, Chris
