in reply to verifification of LDAP credentials

Have a look at Net::LDAP, and bind

Inspired from the manual page :

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( 'ldap.umich.edu' );
 
# bind to a directory with dn and password
$mesg = $ldap->bind( 'cn=root, o=University of Michigan, c=us',
                      password => 'secret'
                    );

die "Invalid credential" if $mesg->is_error;

# bind to a directory with dn and password
$mesg = $ldap->bind( 'cn=root, o=University of Michigan, c=us',
                      password => 'secret'
                    );
