Hi Casey,
On the one hand your totally correct, however if you were to look further at
the code you will see the following:
<snip>
LDAPUserManager.java:165: String dNAttribute =
TurbineResources.getString(LDAP_DN_ATTR);
LDAPUserManager.java:206: dN = attribs.get(dNAttribute).toString();
</snip>
So you see that the "dNAttribute" is actually a variable that is being set
by the setting(s) in the Resource file.
