[Mono-devel-list] Error 49 when calling System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindAll()

[Boris Kirzner]

Hello Stephen,
Error code 49 is an LDAP error code that means you've supplied invalid 
credentials.
You can check for more LDAP error codes here : 
http://www.directory-info.com/LDAP/LDAPErrorCodes.html.

If you want to investigate the exception cause, LdapException class has 
a number of message properties that should be updated
while raising an exception.

In addition - can you please provide us with a full stack trace so we'll 
be able to trace to the root of the problem?
Please make sure you're working with the latest version from svn, or , 
if you insist for some reason to work with some other version, provide 
the revision number.

Thanks,
Boris
