Re: Is Net::LDAP binding to Active Directiry possible?

[<ce...@ca...>]

Sam,

I know it's possible, as I am doing it. Here's what my code looks like:

     my $ldapServer = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
     my $authLogin = "cn=My Name;cn=Users;dc=foo;dc=test;dc=com";
     my $pass = "password";

     $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldapServer,debug=>1) || die &returnErr("Failed
to create an LDAP object");
     $ldap->bind (  dn        =>   $authLogin,
               password  =>   $pass ) || die &returnErr("Could not bind.");

I don't think that I changed the out-of-the-box security settings for
Active Directory, but I did a lot of my work so far under sleep-deprived
and caffeine-enhanced conditions, so it's possible. My only suggestion in
this regard is to verify the permissions on the User account that you're
using to bind with.

Maybe someone else has more complete information?

Subject:  Is Net::LDAP binding to Active Directiry possible?


Hello all.  I'm trying to bind() to an Active Directory server using
Net::LDAP.  So far no matter what I try to use for a "dn" I get an
AccessSecurityContext error in response.

I can get access to the LDAP services with the LDP.EXE crap-ware provided
with Windows 2000.  Binding from within LDP.EXE works unless I uncheck
NTLM Domain.  Is it possible I need to turn off some MS-specific bind
requirements?  Kerberos, perhaps?

I can post my test script if it would help.  I can also run any queries
you might want to see from the LDP.EXE program.  Thanks for your help and
advice.
