Those who run Quickr against multiple LDAP sources by using Directory Assistance take note.

There is a regression error in the underlying 8.5 Domino server which cause LDAP lookups for AD groups to fail, regardless of how you set the filters.

This has been reproduced by IBM and is in triage with Development, so check with support before you upgrade to see if it has been fixed.

Why would you want to use DA for LDAP you ask? Well, Quickr natively can only support one LDAP source and if you want to give access to users from multiple directories the way to do it (apart from federating LDAP servers), is to give Domino control of the directory and then use DA to set up multiple links to LDAP servers. A great work-around, until now of course.

Watch out for my article on restricting access for LDAP users to Quickr through filters, coming soon!
