Note:  for anyone searching on this issue – it was resolved in version 2.0.0.9 of Firefox and subsequent versions of the xmldap selector.  More info here:  http://ignisvulpis.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-versions-for-firefox-2009.html

For anyone who is using the “xmldap Identity Selector” Firefox plugin on the Mac and has suddenly found that they are unable to log into the PamelaWare Test Blog or Product Blog or Pat’s or Kim’s blogs, the problem is not with the blogs themselves. The problem appears to be buggy nastiness in the Mac version of Firefox 2.0.0.2, which wreaks havoc with Chuck’s plugin (xmldap Identity Selector v0.8.6) . If you uninstall Firefox 2.0.0.2 and then install Firefox 2.0.0.1 from mozilla.com (get release 2.0.0.1 here), you will again be able to authenticate to everyone’s blogs once again. The Safari plugin works as well, so if you want to remain on Firefox 2.0.0.2, you could satisfy your Information Card needs by using that plugin on your Mac instead.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog commenting :)
