Can't authenticate via LDAP after updating 3.4.3 to 3.5.1

Hello,

I updated Exponential and know I can't login, neither in the admin nor in the user frontend. My configuration was in override files, and I tried a backup of "settings" too, but it doesn't work. Login as admin without LDAP is possible.

Here is what I did specifically:
- backup DB
- backup file-structure
- copy files from 3.5.1 over existing installation
- update database
-- 3.4.3-to-3.4.4.sql
-- 3.4.4-to-3.5.0.sql
-- 3.5.0-to-3.5.1.sql
- generateoverridesettings.php
- updateattributefilter.php
- updatexmltext.php
- clearcache.sh

Has anyone some hints or ideas how to reestablish LDAP?

BTW, I did the update with a test-installation, the real installation (3.4.3) still works with LDAP.

Any clues?

Kind regards,
André

I solved the problem by editing /kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezldapuser.php
A programmer of us had done modifications to that file, which were overwritten by the update files. Without this modifications ldap doesn't work here.

As it is not possible to attach a file here, I don't know how to let the community participate - maybe the modifications to ezldapuser.php fixes a bug? Anyway, if your interested just let me know and I send you the file.

Kind regards
André
