[ZendTo] Re: Organization requirement

[Jules]

Mike,

You need to add this setting (with an appropriate value) to your 
preferences.php file:
   'authLDAPOrganization'  => 'My Organization',
and then just replace your /opt/zendto/lib/NSSLDAPAuthenticator.php with 
the (gunzipped) attached file. Make sure it's globally readable:
     chmod a+r /opt/zendto/lib/NSSLDAP*
And then try to log in. If it can read the organization from your LDAP 
directory attributes, then it will. But if that produces nothing it will 
use the "authLDAPOrganization" setting instead.

Please let me know how you get on.

Sorry I didn't get it to you over the weekend, a few things cropped up 
which I had to attend to (people win over computers every time! :-)

Cheers!
Jules.
