By default 1.7.1 use the new XWiki LDAP authenticator when 1.3.2 use
the old one. See
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAPAuthentication

Now on the technical details it's using exactly the same Novell ldap
client implementation and the differences are more on the XWiki side
so I don't see why it would suddenly send wrong datas.
