LDAP_STRONG_AUT H_REQUIRED sasl issue with open ldap.

[Durairaj Avasi]

Here is my prg::::

use Net::LDAP qw(LDAP_SUCCESS LDAP_PROTOCOL_E RROR);
use Authen::SASL;
use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_n ame ldap_error_text );

sub lConnect {
my $server = shift;
print " the server name is $server\n";
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($server, port=> 389, version => 3);
print "=== The error is $@ <====\n";
return($ldap);
}

my $ldap = &lConnect('111. 11.11.1');
my $sasl = Authen::SASL->new(mechanis m => 'DIGEST-MD5', password
=>'xyzabc');
my $isBinded = $ldap->bind ('cn=durairaj
avasi,ou=itdev, dc=cow,dc=net', sasl => $sasl, version => 3);#
print "ERROR detected: -> ", ldap_error_name ($isBinded->code), " ",
ldap_error_text ($isBinded->code);

the above program returns the following::

ERROR detected: -> LDAP_INVALID_CR EDENTIALS The wrong password was
supplied or the SASL credentials could not be processed

if i do a normal bind like

$ldab->bind($mydn, password=>$pass word, version => 3);

( NOTE without SASL )

i am getting the following error

ERROR detected: -> LDAP_STRONG_AUT H_REQUIRED The server requires
authentication
be performed with a SASL mechanism
Tested with windows 2000 and windows xp getting the same error msg.

any input ???? thougts ?? will be good to see...
