Subject: Bug in Perl LDAP?

Hi Graham,

My name is Dennis Bergström and I work for Cap Gemini Ernst & Young in
Stockholm, Sweden.

I have recently written a Perl script W2kdad.pl
(http://www.geocities.com/real_wiseman/) that enumerates users and passwords
in a Windows 2000 AD
that utilizes your LDAP modules and I have - I think anyway! - stumbled on a
bug.

I try to bind as a user with a dot in the username (test.user) and the bind
returns error every time. (When I bind as a user *without* a dot in the name
everything works as intended.)

$mesg = $ldap->bind( $base_dn, password => $password, version => 3 );
$foundflag = ($mesg->code);

I have tried the same with LDP.exe and it works OK. (I have checked the FAQ
and the examples and I as far as I can see I do everything correct...)
Do you have any idea what the error might be?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,

Dennis Bergström
