I upgraded to 5.0a and LDAP authentication is no longer working. First I noticed that none of the ldap authentication susbsystem files are present in the webapps directory, so I copied them from my 4.2c installation. After copying the files, authentication does not work. I get following errors in the log file:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> 2014-08-27 23:57:39,280&nbsp; ERROR [extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] [http-apr-8080-exec-2] Exception from executeScript -
