Yay! Glad you got it figured out.

In future, you're probably better with this sort of list on the Catalyst users list - this list is generally used for the development of Catalyst itself (and is much lower traffic, so less eyes).

And hmm, you're probably right about the ldap search values required - this possibly / probably could be fixed, and/or the docs for the LDAP store should be improved to better note that you need to use 'self_check'. Can you log a bug with as much info as possible against that module so this doesn't get lost? (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Catalyst-Authentication-Store-LDAP)
