Anyone got any idea what this means:

argument 1: expected string without null bytes, string found I know this error message from the CORBA ORB ILU. ILU generates this exception, when it receives a string with 0 octeds in it, which is not allowed for CORBA strings.

I do not know LDAP details, but I expect the problem be similar. Some function expects a C-string (i.e. one terminated with a 0 octed) but receives a string that has embedded 0 octeds. Dieter
