Hello

I have the following code to test authentication using ldap (i use  
ruby-net-ldap extension) :

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘net/ldap’

def test  
user = ‘bla’  
pass = ‘bla’  
ldap = Net::LDAP.new :host =\> “10.20.0.128”, :port =\> 389, :auth =\>  
{:method =\> :simple, :username =\> user, :password =\> pass}  
p (ldap.bind) ? “Authorization Succeeded!” : “Authorization Failed:  
#{ldap.get\_operation\_result.message}”  
end

10.20.0.128 is my IP.

However I always get this error (which is originated by the ldap.bind  
instruction) : “no connection to server”

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

regards
