<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi list!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have recently installed the Alkacon
OCEE LDAP-connector on OpenCMS 6.0.4 (running on Tomcat 5.5.9 and MySQL
4.1). The CMS is connected to a version3-compliant LDAP. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If I logon with my user-data as they
are stored within the LDAP a blank page appears, nothing more - no warning
or error. Therefore I think that the system recognizes that I am using
the correct password as saved within the LDAP. If I login as local OpenCMS-user
my user-ID with which I formerly tried to log in is displayed in the group
"LDAP group", i.e. the system seems to have recognized my tryings
to log in. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However I can choose "Synchronize
user" or whatever - I won't be able to login with me LDAP-UserID.
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The Log gives the following error: </font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">A further aspect is that to me it seems
that the connector does not list the groups or users of LDAP-subtree-level
but only of the highest level. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In consequence I have the following
questions: </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(1) </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Why can't I login with my LDAP-UserID?
Where could be the reason for the blank-page after login? Could it be an
error within the LDAP-configuration of the OpenCMS-xml-files? </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Has anyone made similar experiences?
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(2) </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">How can I assure that not only one level
but instead all entries of the LDAP-subtrees are displayed? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks in advance for your answers,</font>
