Help connecting to remote ldap server

[Raymond Norton]

It happens that way when you're new sometimes :)

The last couple posts helped.

I am now able to get an "Accept" message when connecting with the rootdn 
user. Working on getting other users to authenticate now.

Thanks for your patience and help.
