[Cdash] [Fwd: Re: CDash LDAP problem]

[Julien Jomier]

Marcel,

I'm wondering if the CDASH_LDAP options are defined correctly and that 
might be the reason why 'cn' doesn't show up.

CDash requires the user to be registered in CDash when using LDAP. The 
authentication is done by LDAP. One option is to login as administrator 
into CDash and register the user before trying to login into LDAP.

Let us know,
Julien
