LDAP Authentication setup issues
I seem to be having some trouble getting LDAP authentication to work. I've used the same setting I've used for other applications/scripts. I keep getting a "Invalid password" error message. On the di...

Sorry we didn't catch this earlier. For what it's worth, the account defined as the admin in ROOT.xml never consumes a license (we don't want licensing issues to ever interfere with getting in to manage things; by the same token that's why admin by default doesn't have the ability to create new reviews).
I am having trouble logging in under the 'Admin' account. I do have it configured for LDAP and I'm able to login with no trouble using my network credentials. I didn't see the 'Admin' account defined in the root.xml file. I did have some trouble with using MySQL at some point and had to go back to the embedded database.
Look for this part of the ROOT.xml file:
<Parameter description="The name of the Code Collaborator system administrator who is always allowed to log in. " name="system-administrator" override="false" value="admin"/>
(In other words, the value of that Parameter tag is the admin that is being referred to above.)
For ldap, either you'd need an "admin" user to match the ROOT.xml declaration above, or change the above to match the login of an administrative user you already have defined in ldap. In other words, the system does password auth against LDAP as normal, but if the login matches that ROOT.xml declaration, they're exempted from license checks.
