LDAP_AUTH_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED
Indicates that during a bind operation the client requested an authentication method not supported by the LDAP server.
8
LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED
Indicates one of the following: In bind requests, the LDAP server accepts only strong authentication. In a client request, the client requested an operation such as delete that requires strong authentication. In an unsolicited notice of disconnection, the LDAP server discovers the security protecting the communication between the client and server has unexpectedly failed or been compromised.
9

Reserved.
10
LDAP_REFERRAL

Indicates that the matching rule specified in the search filter does not match a rule defined for the attribute's syntax.
19
LDAP_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION
Indicates that the attribute value specified in a modify, add, or modify DN operation violates constraints placed on the attribute. The constraint can be one of size or content (string only, no binary).
20

Indicates that the attribute value specified in a modify or add operation already exists as a value for that attribute.
21
LDAP_INVALID_SYNTAX
Indicates that the attribute value specified in an add, compare, or modify operation is an unrecognized or invalid syntax for the attribute.
22-31

Not used.
32
LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT

33
LDAP_ALIAS_PROBLEM
Indicates that an error occurred when an alias was dereferenced.
34
LDAP_INVALID_DN_SYNTAX
Indicates that the syntax of the DN is incorrect. (If the DN syntax is correct, but the LDAP server's structure rules do not permit the operation, the server returns code 53: LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM.)
35
LDAP_IS_LEAF
Indicates that the specified operation cannot be performed on a leaf entry. (This code is not currently in the LDAP specifications, but is reserved for this constant.)

49
LDAP_INVALID_CREDENTIALS
Indicates that during a bind operation one of the following occurred: The client passed either an incorrect DN or password, or the password is incorrect because it has expired, intruder detection has locked the account, or another similar reason. See the data code for more information.
49 / 52e
AD_INVALID CREDENTIALS

65
LDAP_OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION
Indicates that the add, modify, or modify DN operation violates the object class rules for the entry. For example, the following types of request return this error: The add or modify operation tries to add an entry without a value for a required attribute. The add or modify operation tries to add an entry with a value for an attribute which the class definition does not contain. The modify operation tries to remove a required attribute without removing the auxiliary class that defines the attribute as required.
66
LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF
Indicates that the requested operation is permitted only on leaf entries. For example, the following types of requests return this error: The client requests a delete operation on a parent entry. The client request a modify DN operation on a parent entry.

LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_RDN
Indicates that the modify operation attempted to remove an attribute value that forms the entry's relative distinguished name.

Indicates that the modify operation attempted to modify the structure rules of an object class.
70
LDAP_RESULTS_TOO_LARGE
