Chris, just an FYI. Active Directory allows you to bind with standard
windows authentication credentials including the "domain\username" and upn.

Hi,
I am wondering if someone can help me out. I am trying to use the
Net::LDAP module on perl 5.8 on a HP-UX 11.i server. I have installed
the module and its dependent.
I have the following in my script:
#!/opt/perl/bin
use Net::LDAP;
use warnings;
$ad = Net::LDAP->new("ldap://my.company.com";)
or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
$mesg = $ad->bind("jimbob");
$mesg->code && die $mesg->error;
$ad->unbind
When I run this I get:
This server requires a TLS connection at perlad.pl line 11, <DATA> line
225.
I am not sure why it is needs TLS for the connection. Anyone have any
thoughts.
It is likely that the administrator of the server doesn't permit plaintext
authentication over an insecure connection.
You should probably fix your bind call a bit. It isn't clear what a single
argument of "jimbob" actually means; the bind method expects a DN as the
first argument and it isn't a DN, so Net::LDAP might be trying to do a
simple (ie plaintext) bind with a bad DN and no password...
Try doing a SASL bind instead, something like this (untested):
my $sasl = Authen::SASL->new(mechanism => 'DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5',
callback => {
user => 'jimbob',
pass => 'secret'
});
$mesg = $ad->bind('', sasl => $sasl, version => 3);
See the Authen::SASL docs for more details. You can also create a TLS
connection too, either using start_tls() or by using LDAPS.
Cheers,
Chris
