Error on migration to non-deprecated ldap functions

Question

I'm changing deprecated ldap functions to non-deprecated functions. But I am having problems with ldap_sasl_bind_s. It returns error code 49, which means invalid credentials. But I'm sure that the credentials are valid. Otherwise I added

TLS_REQCERT never

TLSVerifyClient never  

to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf. Still I get the error.

ldap_simple_bind_s(q->ld, binddn, creds.bv_val);  //works well

ldap_sasl_bind_s(q->ld, binddn, LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE , &creds, NULL, NULL, NULL); //returns ldap error code 49 but continues working

The main problem is that : When i m using ldap_sasl_bind_s, it doesnt bind all attrbiutes, that i got in my ldap architecture. Also when i m searching an existing attribute, it returns NOSUCH error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Basic C programming covering the uber-basics, although something tells me you read this stuff already: (And I cannot tell from your question if your application is external or you are moving deprecated functions from the openldap? sources)

Have you read this document which indicates to me that ldap_simple_bind and ldap_sasl_bind_s will work the same if char *LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE = 0;
