A form that won't POST

[Chris_96_WS6]

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this.

I develop/administer an enterprise web app which sees several hundred users across a campus.

Most everyone is on a PC with XP and IE6, though there are some IE7 & Firefox users and even a few Macs. I test my stuff in IE, Firefox and Safari and on Mac and PC.

We do a basic LDAP authentication where my login page takes your username and p/w, bounces them off LDAP for a true/false, and then we let you in if =true.

If you have never logged in before, after LDAP auth you get redirected to an account creation form. (Everyone already has a corporate username & p/w)

In the past week, I've started getting several (we're probably up to a dozen now) users who cannot log in. To a man, these are all first-time users.

What's crazy is they don't get back any login errors. The form posts back on itself and NOTHING happens. It is as if POST isn't being recognized. But I simply cannot duplicate the error myself, on any platform or browser.

How do you verify that something has been posted? Show some code please

I just finished testing for the last half hour and I am pretty sure its an LDAP issue, so we'll see what our directory folks have to say.

I commented out the LDAP part of the script and the page works fine w/o it.

The other interesting thing is when incorrect credentials are given, it returns the correct LDAP authentication error. But when correct credentials are given, it simply does nothing, not even with LDAP debugging set.

It only appears to affect users who have never authenticated to LDAP from my specific web app. People who've been in before can get in.

So at least I know its not some weird platform-dependent issue.
