I assume it's related, but I noticed myself that when setting up the first LDAP
server for a new profile, the "default" scope is set to "0" (BASE). Unless I
manually go into the Advanced tab, and manually click on "SUBTREE", it stays
"BASE".

This is pretty serious, I think this is why people in IS had problems getting
LDAP Autocomplete to work. And, I think a lot of users will get trapped in this
as well, it's not obvious that you have to go into "Advanced" settings to even
get anything to work (a scope of "BASE" is almost never gonna find anything)
