Just to clarify, what is it you mean by “a basic Koha+LDAP system”? Does it or does it not require use of a privileged LDAP user?
to my knowledge, no it doesnt
Thanks for your response. I'm confused over an apparent contradiction, then. When I asked:

How can I get authentication working with Koha like with other LDAP clients?
In particular, without duplicating or storing privileged user credentials in the Koha configuration.
You (Mason) replied:

So, asking again: How can I get authentication working with Koha, without requiring the duplication or storage of privileged LDAP user credentials in the Koha configuration? I ask because the instructions assume the existence of such a provileged account and instruct me to use those credentials in the configuration <URL:http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:ldap>. So, since you say that's not necessary, how do I get it working without that? -- \ “I took it easy today.
