I had previously mentioned this in the comments on the release of 2.0.14 RC. I have also noted it as a potential bug at sourceforge. I'm posting here to see if there are any ideas about how to solve.

When I take the following path: admin|site preferences|AUTHENTICATION, I get the same exact page as I get if I go to admin|site preferences|GENERAL. In other words, I cannot get to the authentication options, only general preferencess. THus, the following links display the same page:

http://www.mysite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=show&confcat_id=0
http://www.mysite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=show&confcat_id=1

The other prefernces options are as follows and seem fine:
User info -
http://www.mysite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=show&confcat_id=2
Meta & footer -
http://www.mysite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=show&confcat_id=3

In the database, it says that LDAP is supposed to be confcat_id=0 and confcat_order=0. But, as noted above, when the number at the end of the link is 0 I still get general prefs.

It occurs to me that I had upgraded some time ago to 2.2.4, which if memory serves had ldap setting options. I recently downgraded to 2.0.13.2 in anticipation of upgrading to 2.0.14 when it came out. Is the fact that LDAP was put in place by 2.2.4 conflicting with what the upgrade is trying to do with 2.0.14? At least three times I reuploaded and run the update script to know avail. I still cannot get to the authentication settings. It concerns me that this may be a bug for those who have downgraded to 2.0.13.2 from 2.2.4 and
are planning an upgrade to 2.0.14...?

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas about what may be going on?

Something has gone wrong with your upgrade. The config cat id of the new LDAP authentication should be 7...
