Description pierre-yves samyn 2021-03-08 16:02:19 UTC

Description:
Hi

According to reports #57417 and #57322 the LDAP connection is no longer supported. 

However, the documentation still refers to it...

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/shared/explorer/database/dabawiz02ldap.html

...raising questions since the functionality has disappeared from the connection choices.

Wouldn't it be better to remove these references in the help?

Best regards
Pierre-Yves

See https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/shared/explorer/database/dabawiz02ldap.html

I forgot to mention that the problem seems to occur only for Windows.
