cfldap inapropriate authentication

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to authenticate a user against ldap (unix and AD) and I have a strange problem.
I tried both the AD ldap server of my company as well as the Unix ldap.

my account works just fine, my password is along the lines of $Word3534
when I was using only AD ldap a user had a password with a : in it, (:Word3534) and the page gave a nice error message, by changing to Unix LDAP this is fixed. now though my test user with a password of Word:3534 and we get Inappropriate authentication. now I know the password words as I tested it on several systems.

Any ideas why this is happening?

here is the code in my application.cfm

Not sure bit maybe make sure you account is not locked out.

This is just a WAG, but make sure that the user is not required to change their password at the first login. This would mean the account is locked out even though you created it successfully and accessed it once.
