thanks, but I'm surprised, I don't see the bindDN and password in the
parameter list of the perl subs
for example, in SampleLDAP.pm, if I do
sub search {
print "@_";
.....
I get :
1st parameter : SampleLDAP=HASH(0x8657f80)
2nd : the base DN
3rd : the search scope
4th : deref
and so on...
no sign of the bindDN and password
what did I miss ?

Hi,
I needed to access from an LDAP client (Outlook or Thunderbird) some
data stored in several locations (an OpenLDAP server with back-hdb, and
a PostgreSQL database).
I wrote a perl script used with back-perl, and everything works fine.
The client queries that back-perl server, wich in turn retrieves data
both from the back-hdb server and the PostgreSQL server, does some
formatting on it, and returns it to the client
It works fine, except that I have to use a standard bindDN/password from
the perl script to access the back-hdb server, because I don't know how
to retrieve in that perl script the initial bindDN/password (the
credentials provided initially by the client).
I guess there is a way to do it, because I found some links like
http://osdir.com/ml/network.openldap.general/2002-09/msg00021.html where
people seem to have been able to get the bindDN and password provided by
the client, but they didn't say how and I couldn't figure it out.
Does anybody know if it's possible to get, within the perl script, the
bindDN/password provided by the client ?
The DN is the same as for all the other operations - it's the first
parameter. The password is the 2nd parameter. How else would you
expect it to be passed?
