Performing a directory search during login
In this release, users cannot perform a directory search using the magnifying glass from the Sign-In dialog box. The "Directory searches are not allowed while configuring a connection on the server." error message appears when the magnifying glass is selected.
This issue is caused by a default server-side parameter that restricts directory searches before a user logs in.
Workaround: To enable directory searches before a a user is authenticated on the calendar server, the following parameter must be added to the [LIMITS] section of $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini:
userlist_login = TRUE
