howdy folks. I have been working on enabling an application to use LDAP and I am getting back a strange error from my call to ldap_simple_bind_s(connection, username, passwd); the return code itself is 97 and a call to ldap_err2string(retval); yields this: "Referral hop limit exceeded." what exactly does this mean?
