Re: Authentication Basics for a Perl and Perl-Ldap rookie...

If the password is bad, it will return an error code of 49 "BAD
Credentials":
my $mesg =$ldap->bind(...);

die ("failed to bind with ",$mesg->code(),"\n") if $mesg->code();

will always fail unless successful bind.

under .20, it will also auto-catch blank passwords (which would force
anonymous bind).
