Chris, thanks for your reply.
To put this another way, with Net::LDAP how do you do a simple
bind with a DN and an empty password?
I don't want a name only (noauth) or anonymous bind when I do:
bind('cn=Joe,ou=London,o=axomic',
'password'=>'');
I would expect this to try a simple bind but with '' as the password. But
it doesn't, and errors asking if I wanted noauth or anonymous.
The following is not what I want, as it doesn't validate the password:
bind('cn=Joe,ou=London,o=axomic',
'password'=>'',
'noauth' =>1);
In Active Directory you can have a user with a valid password, but it is
'' / blank / empty. How do you go about authenticating this user (asking
Active Directory if the password is correct) if Net::LDAP won't do a
simple bind with an empty password?
My hack from the previous post works fine but means fiddling with
Net/LDAP.pm on every install, which is not a good long term solution.
