Re: get_dn

[Chris R. <not...@ho...>]

ok, I am still having problems with the get_dn here is the relevant code:

	 my $ldap = Net::LDAP -> new($ldapServer, port => $ldapPort,
	 		  				  debug=>1) or die
	 		  	"LDAP Server Connection Failed :$error";
#Annonymous Query to LDAP baseed on DN
my $results = $ldap->search(
				  base => $baseDN,
				  scope => "sub",
				  filter => ($matchAttr==$name),
				  attrs => $attrs
			   	);
# request all available attributes
my @Attrs = ();

#check for search error
     if ($error == $results->code()){
	 	  die "Critical LDAP search failed:$error,$results->filter(0)";
		  }

	 if ($results->count()) {
              die"User entry not found for filter:&results->filter";
     }

#get DN
	 $ent = $results -> shift_entry();
	 $dn = $ent -> dn();     #line 39


#bind user
	$mesg =$ldap->bind(dn=>$dn, password=>$password);

and the error messege I get is: Can't call method "dn" on an undefined value 
at ldapauth.pl line 39.
