I am setting up LDAP Authentication with a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and needed to check 2 things:

1. I can only make the authentication operate successfully when using the domain administrator account if I try using other accounts even if they are in the same cn I get the error message Authentication Server nor responding: 'AAA Server has been removed.' Can I make authentication work with an other user account and what are the least privilidges I need to assign to the account?

2. Not critical but I like to use passphrases for Active Directory user accounts - the AAA server setup will not accept passwords with spaces when configuring ldap authentication is there any way round this?

Ass always thanks for your help
