Re: Searching groups on Novell LDAP servers

[<Sim...@wi...>]

Mark,

      Many thanks for the lead !

      I found that your script had uppercase DN in the ldap->bind. This seemed
      to cause ldap.pm to do an anonymous bind.

      Changing to lowercase dn fixed the problem. The bind is now successful and
      the correct list is being returned.

      Thank you for the prompt response.

      Rgds,

      Simon.

A couple of things to check.
1) make sure that you're binded as a user who can read group memberships
2) make sure that Novell uses either groupOfUniqueNames or groupOfNames as
their group object. I've never used Novell LDAP server so I have no idea
what they are using. There is not a standard group object in LDAP, thus
they could be using something else. The 2 groups I picked are essentially
the de-facto standards, appearing in Netscape & openLDAP (which is derived
from UMich).

If you can send me a sample LDIF of a group, I'll be happy to update my
script to accomodate Novell if it does something else.
