Hi Palani,

If you're trying to auth against ldap using Net::LDAP, might want to
try:

  ...
  require 'net/ldap'

  LDAP_HOST = '127.0.0.1'  # or match your setup.
  LDAP_PORT = 389  # or ...
  LDAP_DN = 'cn=shalini,ou=people,dc=mips,dc=com'  # or ...
  ...
  def ldap_auth(uid, pss)
    return false if uid.blank? || pss.blank?
    clean_uid = uid.gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]+/, '')  # or ..., to guard
against ldap-injection.
    usr = "uid=#{clean_uid},#{LDAP_DN}"
    ldap = Net::LDAP.new({:host=>LDAP_HOST, :port=>LDAP_PORT, :auth=>
{:method=>:simple, :username=>usr, :password=>pss}})
    return ldap.bind  # returns true if successfully auth'd; false if
not.
  end
  ...
