Serv-U 15.1.3 Hotfix 1

This article provides the SolarWinds Serv-U version 15.1.3 HotFix 1. 

This SolarWinds fix repairs an issue with LDAP authentication which occurs when a suffix is specified in the LDAP configuration settings.

 This fix requires updating only Serv-U. Within the Serv-U folder there is a folder for each supported platform. Please use the files for your appropriate platform when updating Serv-U. The folder contains files with the appropriate directory structure (if necessary) to upgrade your installation.
