[TYPO3] ldap problem

[Nico Potvin]

hi,

i had the same problem with the better_loginbox. couldn't figure out  
what was wrong. I concluded that the better-loginbox doesn't work with  
ldap-users.

The solution is pretty simple:

Download macina_loginbox, or search for Macina in the TER. it has the  
same features as the better_loginbox and it works with ldap. read the  
manual for setup

Hope this helps

greets

nico
