Trouble with OpenLDAP...

I'm using LDAP for auth and at least prior to GLPI 0.64 i've tested user inport successfully.

With 0.68 i've tried to import group, with no luck; after some fiddling with group LDAP parameters i've tried to import some user, again with no luck (if i try to import the user 'gaio' that exist in LDAP, i got a user 'gaio', but totally empty: no email, no phone, ...).

Probably somewhere in glpi some parameter change, and i have some old configuration lying around that does not work anymore. But the LDAP configuration is so simple that i really i don't know where to look...

My configuration:

Host: localhost (i've also used the uri: 'ldap://localhost ldaps://ldap2.sv.lnf.it')
port: 389
basedn: ou=People,dc=sv,dc=lnf,dc=it
rootdn: <empty>
pass: <empty>
filter: <empty>
user id field: uid
TLS: no

realname: sn
firstname: cn
location: phisicaldeliveryofficename
...

Note that i can auth with no trouble at all to GLPI, but if i try to create some user or group with ``add user from an external source'' button, i got only empty users.

Ok, i've just found that. I tackled a bit, and seems that i've hit a feature, not a bug.

Seems that:

+ if i push on ``create new user from an external source'', the user are created but still descriptive field (name, email, ...) are not filled. But if they login, data are correctly updated.
+ if i add some group, the same happen: the group got created, but member are added only when users login.

If this is intended, sorry me. ;(

PS: in Basedn options i can use the users OU (ou=People,dc=sv,dc=lnf,dc=it) or i have really to insert the basedn of all the LDAP tree (dc=sv,dc=lnf,dc=it)?
