[Anthill-pro] LDAP integration with Active Directory

[Ryan Smith]

When the error says 'admin user', it does not correspond to the 'admin' 
user in Anthill. It is referring to the user that is binding to LDAP to 
do the search for the user.

So it had a error binding as:  cn=anthill, cn=Users,DC=tor,DC=foo,DC=com

Is that the correct user DN?
