[ome-users] LDAP, NullPointerException

[Harri Jäälinoja]

Hi all,
this was a false alarm, sorry. The reason to the error was that the 
query I made to LDAP found no results. I changed the configuration so 
that the username is found, and then the authentication succeeded with 
no problems.

Best regards,
Harri
