[Koha] [KOHA] Unable to do LDAP Authentication with Koha 3.1 Latest from HEAD/GIT [[[[[[Invalid Username or Password]]]]] Error

[Susan Mustafa]

Dear All,

It seems this issue was related to the <principle_name> tag.

I had to put <principle_name>%s at meek.ca</principle_name> for it to work.

Hope this helps someone else,

Regards,
