Using LDAP from 10.5 Server with Joomla

Question

Has anybody successfully used the LDAP from 10.5 server with Joomla?
Here is another post in Joomla's forums asking the same thing

I've had some success with the LDAP integrated into Joomla 1.5. Although, Joomla currently appears to require an email address during validation. So, if you don't have email addresses in the OSX LDAP database, a user can not fully login even if the username and password is correct).
Here are my sanitized settings
Host: hostname.domain.tld , e.g. [email protected]
Port: 389
LDAPV3: yes
Negotiate TLS: no
Follow Referrals: no
Authorization Method : "Bind and Search"
BaseDN: cn=users,dc=hostname,dc=domain,dc=tld , e.g. dc=myserver,dc=mydomain,tld=com or whatever OD LDAP is set for.
Search String : uid=[search] // I do not know if this is valid.
UserDN: uid=[username],dc=hostname,dc=domain,dc=tld
Connect username:
Connect password:
Map full name: cn
Map email : email
Map userid : uidnumber
When you enable the module, you should see an OD LDAP log entry
Something like
May 29 2008 19:04:33 USER: {0x4230826a3fffffff0000000f0000000a, username} is the current user.
May 29 2008 19:04:33 AUTH2: {0x4135826cffffffff0000000a0000000a, username} CRAM-MD5 authentication succeeded.
May 29 2008 19:24:11 RSAVALIDATE: success.
If you don't get any log messages, LDAP has rejected the query outright.
