so what would the suggested final mod look like if the current auth section
of Auth_with_ldap.pm is:
sub checkpw_ldap {
my ($dbh, $userid, $password) = @_;
my $db = Net::LDAP->new([$prefhost]);
#$debug and $db->debug(5);
my $uid_field = $mapping{userid}->{is} or die
ldapserver_error("mapping for 'userid'");
my $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new("$uid_field=$userid") or die
"Failed to create new Net::LDAP::Filter";
my $res = ($config{anonymous}) ? $db->bind : $db->bind($ldapname,
password=>$ldappassword);
if ($res->code) { # connection refused
warn "LDAP bind failed as $ldapname: " . description($res);
return 0;
}
