Hello All

Just installed LDAP server (OpenLDAP) on Ubuntu with following base root dn settings: cn=admin,dc=nodomian

Added few organisation units to it using command line utility 'ldapadd' and few using ldap browser - 'phpldapadmin'

Now I felt like playing with Perl to connect to LDAP server and wrote following script:

 $ldap_host = "localhost";
$admin = "admin";
$domain = "nodomain";
$dn = "cn=$admin,o=$domain";
$password = "mypassword";

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldap_host) or die "Could not establish connect
+ion to LDAP server - $ldap_host \n";

$ldap->bind($dn,password=>$password) or die "Could not bind to LDAP se
+rver - $ldap_host \n";

[download]

If I set wrong '$ldap_host', it shouts saying - 'could not bind to LDAP server'

However if I set wrong '$password' or wrong '$dn' scripts still executes successfully and doesn't shout...

Where am I going wrong...?
