Active directory and Perl-ldap

[William R. <ri...@ed...>]

I am trying to access Active directory using Perl-ldap and I'm having a
problem. Here is sample code:

my $base = 'DC=edinboro,DC=edu';
my $filter = "(objectclass=*)";
my $attrs = ();             # request all available attributes
my $scope = '0';

my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldapserver,debug=>$DEBUG) or die "$@";

# bind to a directory with dn and password - makes no difference whether
authenticated or not
$ldap->bind (dn => $admin,password => $password) or die "$@";

$mesg = $ldap->search(
               scope => $scope,
               base => $base,
	       filter => $filter,
               attrs => $attrs,
	       );

 If I do a search, all I can manage to find is the base DN. If I change the
scope to 1, I retrieve nothing. If I change the scope to 'subtree', all I
retrieve are root entries. I see no cn or ou entries. Nor do I retrieve
anything if I set my base to cn=users,dn=edinboro,dn=edu.  I've run the same
search against ldap.itd.umich.edu and I can retrieve anything I request.
Also if I use MS LDP (even if not authenticated), the search pulls the
entries, as it is suppose to. I've checked permissions on the server but I
am at a loss. Is there anything special I need to make Active Directory work
correctly with LDAP?

Thanks in advance,
