RE: Perl-Ldap and Netmeeting ILS-Server

[Johnson, B. K <bri...@lm...>]

Hi,
 
Netmeeting is an odd one. You might try the code below....it has worked for
me with ILS servers....no I am not sure if they are W2k ILS servers.
Strangely, % is the general wildcard NOT * with the ILS servers that I've
mucked around with.
 
($server)=@ARGV;
use Net::LDAP;
$ldap = new Net::LDAP("$server",port => 389,debug => 0) or die "Connect
failed $server";
$ldap->bind() || die "Bind failed $server";
$filter="(\&(objectClass=RTPerson)(cn=%))";
$mesg = $ldap->search(base   => "c=-",filter => $filter) or die "search
died";
foreach $entry ($mesg->all_entries) { $entry->dump; }

Without being able to see your code I would try using cn=* rather than %...

Hint:  It would help if you posted your code <grin>

Sorry, I didn't get this - I need some further help.



I'm trying to access a W2K ILS-Server (Nettmeeting) with LDAP

(please read below) - and I don't get any response.

Connect to the ils-service works fine (port 1002), bind and or search

stalls.





I also tried to do a bind  (to ILS Service) with credentials

(administrator account). It didn't work - bind never returns without

timeout.

Querying an exchange 5.5 server with perl-ldap (with authentification)

is working fine.





A little bit strange seems to be, that a LDAP browser can do an

anonymous bind to the ILS server and retrieve all needed data without

any problem.



So is there any perl-ldap guru, who can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Normally, this should be a simple task to do  (do get any information in the

first step...).



This would be the connect URL used on an NT-Server  (with ASP):



 LDAP://ilsserver:1002/o=intranet/ou=dynamic;(&(objectClass=RTPerson)

         (cn=%));cn,givenName,surName,location;subtree"





Any idea, why a ldap browser can do an anon query, but perl-ldap not?





Tnx for any hint in advance



Rainer

I need some help for a simple task:



Has anyone managed in accessing the Netmeeting ILS-Service of 

Windows2K Advanced Server from ldap-perl  (from an unix system)?



Even basic connects are failing with perl-ldap  (using a 

      

LDAP-Browser

    

accessing the LDAP-Structure of the ils server works fine).

      

...

    

The Perl-Script (basic code):





  $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ServerName, port => 1002);

  $msg  = ldap->bind;

      

AD doesn't allow for searching using an anonymous bind.

Other than the rootDSE of course.



    

  @attrs = [ "giveName" ];



  $ldap_result = $ldap->search (

                base    => "o=IntraNet,ou=Dynamic",

                filter  => "&(objectClass=RTPerson)(cn=%)",

                attrs   => @attrs

                );

      

cheers, jerry
