[fw-auth] Re: Invalid baseDn error

I found the problem, it was a PICNIC (Problem In Chair, Not In Code) error :-) My LDAP server was expecting a DN in the form of "cn=Henry M Umansky (humansky@Princeton.EDU),o=Princeton University,c=US" whereas I was passing it just "humansky". I had to add the 'bindRequiresDn' => true option the LDAP options to make this happen.
