[ale] Samba - external LDAP

[Chris.Hendry at turner.com (Hendry, Chris)]

Thanks for responding.....

As I was alluding, it is an external LDAP server and I do not know the password.
Isn't there a way to set this up with READ-ONLY?
Examples on the internet only talk about where you have admin rights.
