Hi Peter, Thanks for your input, but I am afraid to say that you are indeed wrong =( Ha.
The user that I am trying to login as (me) has superuser premissions; by no errors, I mean that I get a plain login form - no red box telling me something went wrong. Thanks again for the input, and I'll grab a look at your app if I have time, although I can't promise to be of much help, as I had help from my department's LDAP guy to get the sasl bind working. Meanwhile, the mystery continues - any other suggestions, folks?
