Neil, if you have more than one LDAP server in your auth file then set
it to only one. I haven't looked into this deeply, and I'm too busy to
mess with it now, but my experience is that BB has only ever worked with
one LDAP server, before 7.1 it ignored any extras and rolled over to
internal, at 7.1 it only rolls over if there is one only.
Let me know if that helps.

The myth that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.
