I'm afraid I cannot give you those detials anymore.

I completely rebuilt my ldap service from scratch and I don't have the problem
anymore.

I am using a much simpler authentication system at the moment, (i.e. not very
secure) so that might have been what resolved it.

If I run into the problem again once I start locking down the ldap security i'll
post it here.

It seems as though the method used to authenticate a user in thunderbird is
different depending on how you try to access the LDAP server.

One other thing to note is that I now no longer connect to the LDAP server using
 SSL.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
