Thanks for letting me know your approach.   It looks like thngs have 
changed a lot since then, the SearchOperationContext doesn't have a put 
method.   It seems that with Apache DS a minor point release means a big 
internal code change. :)

My approach has worked *OK* ... but it's not passing the connections 
details down to the authentication layer so I can use it in the bind 
operation.  I'll need to dig further to see if I can get this working.   
I'll update the Jira issue as I progress.
