> associated with a
> Jabber user, then BINDS on that DN using the clear text password obtained
> either from the Client AUTH message or the xdb_file data. If the
> bind succeeds,
> the user is logged into jabber. If it fails, the user does not
> get logged into
> jabber.

> Other changes include adding an attribute config to use in the
> search for the DN.
