Re: ldap-bind

I got around those problems but I'm still having problems binding to the DB.

The script basically logs in and does a search for itself to make sure
all is well.

I cannot bind with the credentials given me by the LDAP server admin,
but the search shows that the user is there.  However if I add more
leading underscores _or remove it, I  still get a result.  If I add
extra letters such as _lldap.... then it fails the search.

Is the leading underscore causing me grief on the bind as well?

code:
$check_CN             = "_ldapmonitor_test";

my $problem = $ldaps->bind (
                'cn=_ldapmonitor_test,ou=service,ou=users,ou=admin,o=noah',
                password=> 'oursupersecretpassword'
                );

print "dn: " . $problem->dn . "\n" ;
print "error: " . $problem->error . "\n" ;
print "done: " . $problem->done . "\n" ;
print "is_error: " . $problem->is_error . "\n" ;

$mesg = $ldaps->search (  # perform a search
                         base   => "ou=service,ou=users,ou=admin,o=noah",
                         filter => "(&(cn=$check_CN))"
                        );
print "search error: " . $mesg->error . "\n" ;
