Re: perl LDAP and Active directory

[<Bob...@kp...>]

I over simplified, a trifle.  Your search code will look something like 
this

      my $msg = $ldap -> search ( base => "ou=my OU, o=My Org, C=us",
                                        scope => "sub",
                                        filter => "sn=*",
                                      );
      if ($msg -> error()) {
                die "An error has occurred --" . $msg -> error();
      }  # or other appropriate error handling

        while (my $ent = $msg -> shift_entry(){

          my $dn = $ent -> dn();
          my $cn = $ent -> get_value("cn");
          print("DN: $dn belongs to $cn\n");

          # do some other stuff 

        }

The fact that you are getting "can't call search on undefined value" would 
indicate that there was an error that needs to be sorted out.

You will need to put the appropriate X.500 address data in the string that 
you pass in 'base =>'.  In my case I have a Directory set up along the 
lines 

     country (c=us)
          organization (ou=My Company Name)
              organizationalUnit (ou= My Administrative Unit)
                   Person1 (sn=Abel)
                   person2 (sn=Baker)
                    ....
                   personN (sn=Zed)

I am not sure what you need to specify the search base on Active 
Directory.

ok thanks... another question:

for example:

if i have  many OU like   main OU is Users and sub OU is managing

and my doamin is guru.foo.ca

is that correct if I write my string like this:  $ldap -> search ( base => 

"ou=managing, ou=users, dc=guru,dc=foo,dc=ca",
                                                         scope => "sub",
                                                             filter => 
"sn=*",
                                                            );

because I have an error like:  Can't call method "search" on an undefined 
value.

the o=My Org ???? represent wich part of my upper string??
the C=us ??? represent wich part of my upper string??


thanks in advance!!:)
