(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It was known there as bug #332743 http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=332743 Imported into Bugzilla on 01/28/99 17:35) This bug originally noticed while testing 325301. This bug needs to be fixed before 325301 can be verified. The step are as follows. 1. Launch Nova, and add an LDAP server that you can authenticate to, like the Netscape phone book 2. Check "use name and password" but leave "save password" clear. 3. Run a search, and give a bogus email address or password. 4. Notice that you get an error message, and then it runs your search anyway (because our server allows anonymous binds) The result is that no search occurs (did not do the anonymous bind) Don't know if this is a Communicator or Server bug so initially sent to Phil and he can reassign to the appropriate developer. Par
Update: when this bug is fixed, try the steps outlined by Phil in bug 325301.
As I think about this, I'm not sure if we really want to bind anonymously. How about this: we stay in the authentication loop until there's either a successful authentication, or the user hits cancel, and then we can bind anonymously. TFV 5.0
I (or someone else) will be moving enhancements, etc, bugs targeted for 5.0 to bugzilla in the near future.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.
