Syntax for LDAP-based login
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Reader Rating 
Q:
When I use the full name (cn=ldaptest,ou=SERVERS,o=FCPROOT), I can authenticate with no problems. But if I use the username@domain (ldaptest@ts.dfas.mil) or usernmae@tree name, I get an error 34.
A:
"username@domain" is not an LDAP-style name and won't work for an LDAP-based login. LDAP understands one syntax and one syntax only - comma delimited, typeful full distinguished names (ie, cn=user,ou=orgunit,o=org style names).
