[kepler-users] kepler remote repository

[Chris Weed]

Hi,
I don't think accessing your LDAP will work for us due to our firewall, but
we have an LDAP server.
I tried pointing metacat to our server but I keep getting: "--  User :
uid=ch21670 is not in LDAP. "
when I set Metacat Administrators to "uid=ch21670". This uid works when I
run the unix tool ldapsearch.

Should this work?
Chris
