!! LDAP Edirectory 8.8 and Simple Password
You must set the [NDSD_TRY_NMASLOGIN_FIRST] variable to use [Simple Password] with 8.8.x.

Unlike 8.7.3, in version Simple Password and Edirectory 8.8.x will not work by default as the NDS login method is set as the default login sequence.

The login sequence attribute, sasDefaultLoginSequence, needs to be set.

!! LDAP on versions Prior to 8.8
Prior to eDirectory 8.8, only Client32 and other direct NMAS logins made use of UP. After enabling UP, though the logins through Client32 were case-sensitive, they were still case-insensitive when logging in through LDAP, iManager, or the DSAPI NDK.

!Password sequence
Prior to version 8.8, for LDAP and other server logins, eDirectory validates the password against:
* [NDS Password] first, and on failure it tries 
* [Simple Password] login. 
* The [Universal Password] was never used from an LDAP login.

NOTE: The latest [NMAS] versions that are Security Services 2.0.3 or later are supposed to provide LDAP support for UP.
