Apex and LDAP - Worked on 4.0.1 , no longer works on 4.1

Question

We recently upgrated from 4.0.1 to 4.1 (current version), and all of our LDAP authentications have failed.
DN Field: cn=%LDAP_USER%,CN=USERS,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=COM
This was working fine on 4.0.1, and converted properly during the upgade. Anyone have a similar issue ?
Also, where the heck did the LDAP test function go, that was very useful!

You don't happen to have your database upgraded (eg 10g to 11g) ?
Also, where the heck did the LDAP test function go, that was very useful!Try this from the sql workshop > sql commands, and run it for the parsing schema of an application you have the authentication on:
DECLARE
   ldap_host      VARCHAR2(200);
   ldap_port      VARCHAR2(200);
   l_user         VARCHAR2(200);
   l_password     VARCHAR2(200);
   l_retval       BINARY_INTEGER;
   ldap_session   DBMS_LDAP.session;
BEGIN
   -- adapt these!
   ldap_host   := '127.0.0.1'; -- or the hostname, eg servername12
   ldap_port   := '389'; -- 389 is standard, no ssl
   l_user      := 'johndoe'; --put your search string here, eg cn=John Doe,dc=some,dc=domain,dc=com
   l_password  := 'xxx';
   DBMS_LDAP.USE_EXCEPTION := TRUE;
   --create a session
   ldap_session := DBMS_LDAP.init(ldap_host, ldap_port);  
   --authenticate user through simple bind
   l_retval := DBMS_LDAP.simple_bind_s(ldap_session,
                                       l_user,
                                       l_password);
   dbms_output.put_line('return value of bind: '||l_retval);
END;See if that throws an error and if it does then post it.
