Hello,

In the following debug snippet I make an ldap_intit and an ldap_sasl_bind_s afterwards. In the end an unbind follows.

My problem is, that I get an error code '-12' for the ldap_sasl_bind. Does anyone has a clue why the bin doesnt work?

Since I try to build up a ruby Binding for OpenLdap with ffi I dont have c code here, but the ruby snippet is:

handle = ldap_init "localhost", 389 res = ldap_sasl_bind_s handle, 'cn=admin,ou=users,dc=thilko,dc=net', '', 'x', nil, nil, nil p " the result: #{res}"

and the result is '-12'. Note that I am using ffi, so the function 'ldap_sasl_bind_s' is a call to the native function defined in ldap.h. I try to use LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE.

I also tried to use a ber_val struct as password and servercred - the same effect. I stepped through some source code in openLdap, but I dont know where the error code '-12' comes from and where to find some documentation.

Thx a lot for help,

Thilko
