title: How to manually check username and password of ldap user
body: <p>I found a java code to authenticate a user using LDAP. It first connects to the LDAP with a username and password. It then does a second level authentication to validate a user with his username and password. Below is the link of the code <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6703425/4671258">https://stackoverflow.com/a/6703425/4671258</a>. Is there any way to test LDAP authentication manually? I am using jXplorer to test first level of authentication, that is to connect to the ldap server. But i don't know how to test the second level of authentication.  </p>
