RE: SASL authentication

Hi, all: 

Now I am able to use ldapsearch (the OpenLDAP utility) to do SASL binding after a successful kinit operation. The previous error 82 (ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error) is due to two reasons.
1. SASL binding should use LDAP server's hostname, instead of IP address.
2. DNS servers should be correctly set up to resolve the hostname to its IP address.

Now I turn back to use MozLDAP library to code SASL support, but it doesn't work. The error is still this "82 Local error". In the network trace captured between the client printer and the server, I found the following interesting packets:
========================================
32	3.141158	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	DNS	Standard query A sesswin2003:389 .sesswin2003.com
33	3.141400	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	DNS	Standard query response, No such name
34	3.141981	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	DNS	Standard query AAAA sesswin2003:389 .sesswin2003.com
35	3.142071	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	DNS	Standard query response, No such name
36	3.142287	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	DNS	Standard query A sesswin2003:389 .sesswin2003.com
37	3.142373	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	DNS	Standard query response, No such name
38	3.158268	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	DNS	Standard query A sesswin2003.sesswin2003.com
39	3.158482	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	DNS	Standard query response A 13.198.98.35
...... /* simple binding/search follows */
========================================
The server is "13.198.98.35", while the client is "13.198.98.107". Packet 32~37 are all related to SASL binding, while packet 38~39 onwards are for simple binding and search (and they are successful, coz the IP address is correctly resolved out). The code is arranged in such a manner that if SASL binding fails, it will turn to simple binding.

In the enrionment setup, the server is an AD in Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. It's hostname is "sesswin2003". The server is also a primary domain controller, with the domain name "sesswin2003.com". In the printer's LDAP setup WebUI page, the server's hostname is set to "sesswin2003". And the printer is placed in the domain of "sesswin2003.com". This domain is set in the printer's TCP/IP WebUI page.

In simple binding, we can see the DNS request from the client is in the correct format, i.e. with LDAP server's hostname suffixed with the domain name. And the server can resolve correctly, and sends the IP address back to the client. 

But, in SASL binding, the DNS request from the printer seems incorrect. It inserted the port number 389 and a space character between the hostname and the domain name. Thus, it is not a correct FQDN, and the server can't resolve it. 

Is the insersion a defect of MozLDAP library, or SASL library?

The caller seems innocent:

========================================
The parameters passed to MozLDAP are all the same. But the binding results are different. 

Looking forward to help,
