Hi. I am working on migrating a perl script that uses Net::LDAP from HP-UX to
RedHat Linux. When running the script on RedHat Linux, the debug seems to
indicate that Net:LDAP is returning a 00 for the ASN1 data type instead of the
standard 30:
00 82 07 4D 02 01 03 64 82 07 46 04 2D 75 69 64 ...M...d..F.-uid
Everything else is identical to the script running on HP-UX, including all of
the data returned. Only the ASN1 type is different. This is what I see in HP-UX
30 82 07 4D 02 01 03 64 82 07 46 04 2D 75 69 64 0..M...d..F.-uid
This results in a decode error since the data type is incorrect.
decode error 00<=>30 0 8 at
/opt/perl/Convert-ASN1-0.33/lib/Convert/ASN1/_decode.pm line 117
The working script is actually using a very old version of Net::LDAP and
Convert:ASN1, while the non-working script was updated to the latest versions
to see if that would resolve the issue. It hasn't, so I'm guessing that there
is something else preventing Net::LDAP from returning the correct value for the
ASN1 data type. Any ideas on why this would be happening and how to get
Net::LDAP to return the correct data type? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
