What's the difference in using distinguished name with cn or uid when logging into LDAP?

Question

I\'m running into a problem using LDAP to authenticate logins.

Answer 1

I suggest that is is the application that is 'behaving like this', not edirectory. Obviously your edirectoryis structured differently from your Sun LDAP server, yet the application is treating them both the same. LDAP servers only execute queries, they don't construct them. The application does that.
