Hello Mr. Barr,

    Im currently using your LDAP module to interface with an
openLDAP server using SASL. Initially, I was unable to log into the
server, and repeatedly received the "no secret in database" error
message from the server. After some poking around, I discovered that
when a "sasl" field is passed, the "user" element of the sasl object is
set to "dn: $dn". I finally was able to get the connection to work by
removing the setting of "user", and manually setting it to just the
username(i.e. $sasl->name("joe") instead of $sasl->name("dn: cn=joe,
[...]")). I was wondering if this is a bug, or if other LDAP sasl
implementations use the "dn:" format. Thanks for your time and help!
