Rich, as ever, thanks for your help with what must seem a silly problem.
I sent the Email simply to ensure there is a record of this potential problem
in case someone else stumbles upon it :-)
We can drop it for now - if I find the time, I'll create a new virtual
Active-Directory machine and re-test specifically
with the recommended log level. If I can re-create the problem, I'll log a BUG of
course.
ldapsearch with an '@' worked fine at the time.
-D "Administrateur" -w p@ssw0rd -h sh...
Note: Administrateur - I ought to have told you the Windows 2003 Server (Active
Directory) is using a French locale
(worth noting - might be important):
Windows Server 2003 R2
Version 5.2 R2 (numéro 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack
The current password (without '@' - yeah, that's my theory also) works fine -
it has
a capital letter and two '9's.
Thanks again for your help.
