Hi,
I am developing a script which has to authenticate against MS Active Directory. I am using the following script for that.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_text
                         ldap_error_name
                         ldap_error_desc
                        );

my $LDAPServerAddress =  '10.4.78.107';   
my $errorMsg=checkPassword('test@navitools.com','test');
print "$errorMsg.....";


sub checkPassword() {
  my ($user,$password)=@_;

  my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($LDAPServerAddress, port => '636',scheme =
+> 'ldaps') ||
                 return "Can't connect to $LDAPServerAddress via LDAP"
+;

  my $result=$ldap->bind("CN=Test User,OU=Corp, DC=navitools,DC=com",p
+assword=>$password) ||
                  die "$@";

  $ldap->unbind();                        
  $result->code && return $result->error; # return error message if fa
+iled
  return 1;                  # return "undef" on success
}

My problem is in bind part.This script works fine. But here I am using the attribute CN=Test User (1st & last name) and the password .

I have to use logon name to get authenticated (test). If i use 'CN=test' instead of 'CN=Test User ', its not authenticating.
Please help me to get it done.
Thanks,
