Lukas, In your LDAPsend unit, you liberally use plain string as the datatype. Could that be part of the problem? Have you actually tested LDAPsend in D2009?
I created UTF8String variables and filled them in with literal values but still it fails to bind (see code below). I'm sure there's something I don't understand. If anyone else knows what I'm doing wrong, please chime in. procedure login; var ldap: TLDAPSend; FDomain, FUserName, FPassword, FPort : UTF8String; begin FDomain := 'domain.local'; FPort := '636'; FUserName := 'wel...@domain.local'; FPassword := 'password'; ldap := TLDAPSend.Create; ldap.TargetHost := (FDomain); ldap.TargetPort := (FPort); ldap.UserName := (FUserName); ldap.Password := (FPassword); ldap.Version := 3; if FPort = '636' then ldap.FullSSL := True else ldap.fullSSL := False; if ldap.Login then begin Memo1.lines.add('**** Connected to Active Directory Server *******'); end else Memo1.lines.add('!!!!! Not Connecting to Active Directory Server -- bad socket!!!!!'); if ldap.Bind then ******* FAILS here ******* begin showmessage('logged in'); end; end; >>> "Lukas Gebauer" <gebyl...@mlp.cz> 8/22/2009 4:03 AM >>> > I've tried to zero in on the problem with LDAP (against AD).

It can be stored in ANSIstring , as currect code expecting, but you must generate UTF-8 encoding inside ANSIstring without D2009 implicit conversion. Best for this is to use synachar unit and their conversion routines. It can produce UTF-8 encoded string inside ansistring and pass it into ldapsend properties. -- Lukas Gebauer.
