Hi, all: 

Now my LDAP SASL is successful, thanks to all the help provided. I am really grateful to all of you.

Still, I have seen some strange packets in MozLDAP traffic: 
========================================
32	17.839052	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	LDAP	bindRequest(1) "<ROOT>" sasl 
33	17.917608	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	LDAP	bindResponse(1) saslBindInProgress 
35	17.919333	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	LDAP	bindRequest(2) "<ROOT>" [Malformed Packet]
36	17.919637	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	LDAP	bindResponse(2) saslBindInProgress 
37	17.920316	13.198.98.107	13.198.98.35	LDAP	bindRequest(3) "<ROOT>" sasl 
38	17.920691	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.107	LDAP	bindResponse(3) success 
========================================
I am not sure if packet 35 is normal or not? After all, it says the packet is malformed.

In contrast, a trace captured with OpenLDAP ldapsearch utility does not have this malformat packet: 
========================================
22	24.805633	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.190	LDAP	bindResponse(1) saslBindInProgress 
28	26.616093	13.198.98.190	13.198.98.35	LDAP	bindRequest(2) "<ROOT>" sasl 
29	26.616459	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.190	LDAP	bindResponse(2) saslBindInProgress 
31	26.616705	13.198.98.190	13.198.98.35	LDAP	bindRequest(3) "<ROOT>" sasl 
32	26.633134	13.198.98.35	13.198.98.190	LDAP	bindResponse(3) success 
========================================
Packet 29 is normal, compared to Packet 35 in the last trace.

Will this Malformed Packet bring any side effect? Have you guys ever see this kind of packet in your own MozLDAP network trace?

Thanks,
Xu Qiang
