Unable to do named binds against NDS 8

[Michael W. <mw...@do...>]

Hello all,

I am having a problem with named binds against a Novell server running NDS =
8.  The response I receive is code 32 and "NDS error: no such entry =
(-601)".  The strange thing is I can do an anonymous bind and search on =
that username.  Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks for any pointers!

Here is the test script I am using:

use Net::LDAP;

$LDAPAddress =3D "172.16.1.21";

#####################################################
# Try an anonymous bind and search

$ldap =3D Net::LDAP->new($LDAPAddress) or die("Unable to connect to LDAP =
server<br>Reason: $@");
$ldap->bind (version =3D> 3) or die "Couldn't bind $@";

$mesg =3D $ldap->search(
		filter =3D> "(cn=3Dmwille)",
		attrs =3D> ['uid','fullName','title','telephoneNumber']
		);

if($mesg->code()) {
	print "Search returned, errorcode #".$mesg->code()."\n";
	print "Message: ".$mesg->error."\n";
}
print "Search Results: \n";
for(my $i =3D 0; $i < $mesg->count; $i++) {
	my $entry =3D $mesg->entry($i);
	foreach my $attr ($entry->attributes) {
		$User{$attr} =3D $entry->get_value($attr);
		print "$attr: ".$entry->get_value($attr)."\n";
	}
}

$ldap->unbind;

#######################################################
# Try a Named bind...

undef $ldap;
print "\nPerforming Bind\n";
$ldap =3D Net::LDAP->new($LDAPAddress, version =3D> 3) or die "$@";
#$ldap->start_tls(verify =3D> 'none', sslversion =3D> 'tlsv1') or die =
"$@";

# all of these below come up with the same results...
#$mesg =3D $ldap->bind (dn =3D> "cn=3Dmwille, o=3Dxxx, c=3Dus", password =
=3D> "password");
#$mesg =3D $ldap->bind (dn =3D> "cn=3Dmwille, o=3Dxxx", password =3D> =
"password");
$mesg =3D $ldap->bind (dn =3D> "cn=3Dmwille", password=3D>"password");

if($mesg->code()) {
	print "Return Code: ".$mesg->code()."\n";
	print "Error: ".$mesg->error."\n";
}
print "\n**** Done ****\n";

$ldap->unbind();
