I want to change the preferences but I do not know the password.
When you install LDAP Account Manager the password for the default profile and the master password are "lam".

I get strange errors (e.g. object class violation/invalid syntax) when saving accounts.

Probably, your LDAP server does not offer the required LDAP object classes and attributes.
To check the LDAP schema open Tools -> Tests -> Schema test and check if any errors are reported.

See the LAM manual for the required schema files.

What is the syntax of the filter fields in the account lists?

LDAP Account Manager searches for "(attribute=<filter field>)".

You can do simple filtering like: a*, *nix, groupname

There are several limitations: If you only enter "*", LDAP will return all accounts with the attribute set. Numeric fields cannot use the "*", only exact matchings are possible.

LDAP + SSL does not work.

PHP uses the LDAP settings in /etc/ldap.conf (you will have to create this file on some distributions).
Use the "LDAPTLS_CACERT" setting to specify your CA certificate.

Internet Explorer 8 shows LAM in compatibility mode which makes it unusable

By default intranet pages are shown in compatibility mode. Please turn off this mode in the Internet Explorer preferences. You can also configure Apache to send a special header to disable the compatibility mode.

Please note that this is a bug in Internet Explorer. LAM produces HTML compliant code that fits to the standards.

I found a bug. Where can I report it?

Please use the Bug Tracker at our Sourceforge homepage or subscribe to our public mailinglist.

If the problem is related to LDAP, please add some logging information. In /etc/ldap/slapd.conf turn logging on with the line "loglevel 256". OpenLDAP uses /var/log/syslog for log output.
