RhodeCode CE/EE

Hello I am evaluating RhodeCode for use as a source repository tool.

I am using the same LDAP server to authenticate email, JIRA, gerrit, etc ... so I know the LDAP side is working.
All the other tools have a verify login button for the DN account and have a way to test that the LDAP searches are working.
I believe the DN login is working because I get a different error if I mangle that username or password.

Base DN canonically does not have ou=People nor ou=Groups on it.
The example of, (e.g., dc=mydomain,dc=com, or ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com), is accordingly confusing especially given the description of how SUBTREE works, stating that it does not search the base DN.
It should search the base DN unless there is another field that pretends a field that is something like ou=People or ou=Groups to search for the respective information and then it should search at that level and below.

My user search filter is the same as other the other tools, (objectclass=posixAccount)
I see in the code and some docs that it appends a uid=$login to that filter - this ought to show on the config page and you should be able to test it so you can see that you are getting results.

There are no password attribute nor password encryption type fields.
How do I tell it to use userPassword as a SSHA hash to authenticate?
