You are binding anonymously to an Active Directory server. The default security config of AD does not allow much in the way of anonymous access. Try binding as a valid user, e.g.
my $mesg = $ldap->bind ( 'cn=Administrator,cn=Users,DC=abc,DC=nl ', password => 'your-admin-password', version => 3 );
Paul.
Thanks Paul,
you were right: it was a configuration matter. Now that I have made a few scripts that query the directory using the above method I have a new question.
My password is in the script and people are able to read it from the screen when I am editing it (in fact, this has happened more than once). I have tried to replace the password string with an SHA-encrypted password, but that gives an AcceptSecurityContext error.
Is there a way not to have the password in cleartext in the script?
thanks, Ruud

hi,
I have a problem querying the intranet LDAP database of my company with information about all the computer users. Using the example page from the perl-ldap home page, I created a small script, that attaches to the database, and does a query using different bases.
It appears that only one branch of the directory is shown to script (see
output) and that the script is not able to retreive the schema.
