Subject: LDAP authentication in Windows 2003 AD


I am trying to authenticate user against Windows 2003 AD. This is what I
have found so far, but what ever I do I get error:
#<LDAP::ResultError: Invalid credentials>

This is my source code, which I picked sowhere on net:
-------------------------------------
require "ldap"
# Provides access to authenticate user from LDAP using the user provided
# user name and password
class MyLDAP < LDAP::Conn
  BASE_DN = "dc=mydomain,dc=com"
  PEOPLE_DN = "ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
  LDAP_HOST = "mydc"
  LDAP_PORT = 389
  PROTOCOL_VERSION = 3
  # sets up connection to LDAP server
  def initialize (host = LDAP_HOST, version = PROTOCOL_VERSION)
    super( host, LDAP_PORT )
    set_option( LDAP::LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, version )
    return self
  end
  # Bind with the user supplied information
  def bind(mydn, pass)
    dn = "uid=" + mydn + "," + PEOPLE_DN
    super( dn, pass )
  end
end

#** user.rb **
  # Takes user login name and password and connects to LDAP
  def login(login, password)
    if password == ''
      return false
    end
    begin
      conn = MyLDAP.new.bind(login, password)
    rescue => e
      puts e.inspect
      return false
    end
    return conn.bound?
    conn.unbind
  end


  puts login('myusr','mypwd')
---------------------------------

Is there anything that needs to bo be set on Windows server?

Help please.
