when creating a user via a template place it doesnt take the ou specified in the template
reproduce on demo website :
login via admin create an OU named subdpt create a user template name, surname is %askme% id is %alps[0,1]|givenName%%alp|sn% pass is %r[12]|% base is /subdpt
make sure you are browing users in the root ou , not in subdpt create a user using template select the template type name, surname
notice how you can choose the base ou (this wasn't the case before 1.0.15) notice the base ou is already prefilled with / and not /subdpt
finish the user creation notice the user has been created in /
.... additional tests shows that the user is created in the OU that you are currently browsing when creating via template
