Re: lookupUserFromDN to Active Directory fails after 405 upgrade

So what happens when you change the ldap-port from 389 to  3268 is that you
query the Active Directory so-called Global Catalog (as suggested here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=365198).

And then all of a sudden you can query users, groups and group-members from
Jahia 4.0.5 without any problem! (Safe for this exception which is - 
sometimes - thrown
when querying groups (and their members) but I can't see the reason why. 
(see the end
of this mail for the exception trace))

However, I believe this is not entirely good news since although it fixes 
the issues here in
our development-environment, switching the ldap-port from 389 to 3268 might 
not be
acceptable for some production environments, especially when you consider 
the
firewall setups/policies in some companies.

Additional comments and suggestions are appreciated!
