Hello,

I have implemented Netreg 1.3rc2 on RedHat 9.0. I am using a Microsoft
Active Directory server as my LDAP authentication server for NetReg
registrations. For convenience I have created an Active Directory Group
with the following DN:

"CN=NetReg,OU=Generic Accounts,DC=mercyhurst,DC=local";

I have made the Active Directory users that can register using NetReg
members of the AD group NetReg. I wanted to restrict the registration to
users exclusively in that AD group. Hence I used the following
configuration setting:

# Search base: can be used to restrict which users can register
$LDAP_BASE = "CN=NetReg,OU=Generic Accounts,DC=mercyhurst,DC=local";

However, users that are not part of the AD group NetReg can register as
well. Hence my group restriction is not functioning correctly.

Since, I am not particularly knowledgeable in the AD administration, I
would welcome some feedback as to how my $LDAP_BASE should be
structured, so that only users within a given AD group can register
using NetReg.

Thanks in advance.
