Hi,

I'm planning to configure Exponential to work with our schools Active Directory via LDAP, but I have 2 questions:

1. When setting the LDAPBaseDn, your example gives

LDAPBaseDn=ou--sales,o--my company 

(http://ez.no/Exponential/documentation/configuration/configuration/login_handler/using_ldap_server), however, I need to search the entire Active directory structure so I need to specify:

 LDAPBaseDn=dc--mycompany,dc--internal 

Will this work?

2. Our users are in various OUs, organised heirarchically. I am not sure if it is possible to transfer this group structure automatically to Exponential when ldapusermanage.php is called. Is this possible? I am half thinking it is from reading some of the docs, but am not sure.

TIA

Matt
