Well, I tested it with version 4.0 (eDir 8.7.3) and it worked, provided

that you had to make some modification on the eDir site as to allow

clear text authentication.

By default eDirectory uses an SSL connection for authentication to

the directory. You should disable this:

In Novell tools Launch ConsoleOne -> Select LDAP Group object -> General

-> Allow Clear Text Passwords

You can do the same with iManager but I can't, at the minute, provide

you with the exact steps to allow Clear Text Password since I don't have

an iManager box running right now :-(

Cheers,

Rob
