[Building Sakai] JLDAP user provider and LDAP server list

[Steve Swinsburg]

You should be able to use spaces as Dave says but they'll need to be  
the same search path. If you have multiple LDAP servers with different  
paths (ie DC=Staff for one, DC=Students for another for example) then  
you can chain LDAP providers so it queries one with one search path,  
then the other with the different path. I'll dig up the code if you  
need it.


cheers,
Steve
