Re: OpenLDAP 1.2 and Iplanet 4.1 Web server



I just realized that if I point my Netscape Enterprise
Server 3.6 at my Linux LDAP 1.2 server, I can
authenticate against it.  However, if I use Iplanet
4.1 web server, I can not authenticate.  I always get
an 'access denied' type of message as described below.

Has anyone seen differences like this between the
older Netscape Enterprise servers and the new
(improved?) Iplanet web servers?
