In my experience, the Cisco folks don''t have a clue what
they''re talking about.
We recently had a customer come to us asking why OpenLDAP doesn''t
support
LDAPv3 (it does; it has since 2000), saying their Cisco product wasn''t
able to
Bind to OpenLDAP. Cisco of course claimed they were supporting LDAPv3 correctly
and that the OpenLDAP server was defective, but we asked the customer for a
network trace and they saw that the Cisco product was actually sending an
LDAPv2 Bind request. Your mileage may vary of course, but it''s best to
take
anything Cisco says about LDAP with a large helping of salt.
