Hi All -

I have some silly questions about ActiveLdap.  I'm a pretty new Ruby
programmer, so I may be doing foolish things...

I am trying to connect to and search for records on my ldap server.  I have
installed activeldap using gem.  My test ruby program looks like this:
::
require 'rubygems'
require 'log4r'
require 'active_ldap'

class Entry < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute=>"cn"
end

ActiveLdap::Base.establish_connection(
        :host             => "ldap-server.domain",
        :port             => 389,
        :bind_dn          => "ou=A,ou=B,ou=c,ou=D,o=E,c=US"
)

entry = Entry.find("krwightm")
::
When I run this, I get:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-activeldap-0.8.1/lib/active_ldap/base.rb:531:in
`find_one': Couldn't find Device with DN=krwightm (cn=krwightm)
(ActiveLdap::EntryNotFound)

If I perform the same query with the command-line tool ldapsearch:

ldapsearch -x -LLL -h ldap-server.domain -p 389 -b
"ou=A,ou=B,ou=C,ou=D,o=E,c=US" "(cn=krwightm)"

I find exactly one entry with cn=krwightm in my ldap.  Am I doing everything
correctl in my rubyprogram?  From the docs and usage available I think so,
but again I don't know Ruby so well :).  Is there a way to verify that my
bind succeeds?  Even changing the last line of my program to be:

entry = Entry.find("*")

returns the error.

Thanks much for any guidance,
Reid
