I have discovered a critical bug in Net::LDAP 0.35 and submitted the following ticket to the developer: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34878
In 0.35, the Net::Ldap::Util::ldap_error_name subroutine is broken which means that all functions such as Net::LDAP->code() that return a message as a constant are broken. Instead of returning the correct message, Password Policy (PP) constants are being returned instead. The most crucial example is that a successful bind or search is returning LDAP_PP_PASSWORD_EXPIRED (0) instead of LDAP_SUCCESS (0). You can code around this failure by using resultCode() instead to get the integer form of the result code, however all current perl modules that determine results by using the constant names will function unexpectedly. I am currently trying to decide which way to code around the bug in RT::Authen::ExternalAuth so that those who've already upgraded to Net::LDAP 0.35 can continue to use the extension, however v0.06 which will work around the bug may not be released until Monday or Tuesday of next week. -- Kind Regards, __________________________________________________ Mike Peachey, IT Tel: +44 114 281 2655 Fax: +44 114 281 2951 Jennic Ltd, Furnival Street, Sheffield, S1 4QT, UK Comp Reg No: 3191371 - Registered In England http://www.jennic.com __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
