Net::Ldap and successful creation of user despite an "insufficient access" error
Hi all,

I m using Net::LDAP to connect to a LDAP server and create/modify users.
I have a predefined LDAP user I m using to bind with and then
create/modify accounts.
My slapd.conf has the following:

access to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange
by dn="cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com" write
by dn="uid=cyril,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com" write
by anonymous auth
by self write
by * none

access to dn.base="" by * read

# The admin dn has full write access, everyone else
# can read everything.
access to *
by dn="cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com" write
by dn="uid=cyril,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com" write
by * read


So if I understood well, the dn
"uid=cyril,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com" has write access(and there
for delete, and read)
to everything, just like the admin.

But when I try to create a user (being binded with
"uid=cyril,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com"), I got an "insufficient
access" error (50) from Net::LDAP (from $resp->error and $resp->code
)but the user is created.

Has anyone seen this behavior as well?

Should I rely on another value to check if the action has been
performed successfully?

I have also tried with the LDAP admin account and no error has been thrown.

Thanks for your help

Cyril
