#35611 [Bgs]: ldap_sasl_bind() sends bind DN as authz_id

ID: 35611 User updated by: bfg at frost dot ath dot cx Reported By: bfg at frost dot ath dot cx Status: Bogus Bug Type: LDAP related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.1.1 New Comment: ... well, the fact is, that i haven't found any way to authenticate against my ldap directory without that patch... Well, when i specify -I option when running ldapsearch i can specify authz_id from interactive prompt. The fact is, that when i specify authz_id as an function argument when calling ldap_sasl_bind(), it is *not* passed to SASL as authz_id, but bind dn is passed as authz_id instead... I believe that this is wrong. Well, if i'm doing something wrong somewhere, please let me know. I've read those openldap documents before i decided to patch php interpreter. But i still cannot understand why it is wrong to expect that sasl will use $authz_id as sasl authzd_id and not ldap bind dn if i explicitly specify $authz_id...
