Or we are not using profiles anymore? Just curious... Do you still think I need to change my defaultSearchDN? Also, must those ACLs be added still? Because it looks like you're doing a manual config, right? Thank you for your help, Gary. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
