The answer is to get the AD driver V5 config, copy it from Designer in
some crazy deep path, to Analyzers path, and then you need a RL on the
AD side.

If you need the paths, I can dig the notes up.

I gave up and instead use Apache Directory Studio (Also an Eclipse app,
might be RCP, dunno) and get the data I want, save it as CSV then use
that as my data source to do my compares with.

Seems to work well enough.

I dislike using RL for this task, which I like the LDAP'y approach to,
since the LDAP way is non intrusive.
