ldap modify problem

[Prayank C. <pra...@su...>]

Hi all,
I tried to find a solution in the archives but cudnt unfortunately find one.
The problem is as follows:
I want to modify an attribute value(mail) for an entry,
The scriptlet is as follows :

$dn='uid=abc, ou=orgn,o=net';
$result=$ldap->modify( $dn, replace => { mail => 'ab...@or...' } );

when I do result->code..i get a return  value of 50 but the change doesnot
take effect.

Please let me the know the way.

If you look in $result->error you will see a description. And ldap_error_name()
from Net::LDAP::Util shows code 50 is LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS. So perhaps
you are not bound as a user with permissions to change that particular dn

Re: ldap modify problem

Hi
   Thanks for your help in advance.
    I want to know , whether i am doing something
wrong in my code  or any other problem.

please refer the  following response value    

responseValue ::=
   SEQUENCE of SEQUENCE {
      name OCTET STRING 
      SEQUENCE of ATTRIBUTES 
   } 
   where 
      ATTRIBUTES:: OCTET STRING

But when i am decoding the above response value , i
had given like this. 
.............
$asn->prepare(q<
	   name  OCTET STRING,
	   attributeList  SEQUENCE OF OCTET STRING
          >);
my $res=$asn->decode($response->response);

But i am always getting $res as undefined value as a
result. 

But the server is returning the correct result.  Is it
a problem in the decoding module or something.  But
other than this  response structure, i am getting all
the values properly without any problem like  SEQUENCE
OF OCTET STRING,SEQUENCE OF INTEGER.  etc 

   Any HELP.

Regards
K.Murugan

You seem to have forgotten the outer SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE

Whenever youhave a deode problem it is always worth a look
at the result of asn_dump($data), which can be imported
from Convert::ASN1
