Error codes

LdapAuth returns an error code with a message if the JSON-RPC 2.0 request failed for some reason.

The error codes fall into three ranges according to their category:

Range Type
-2000 .. -2099 User authentication and provisioning exceptions, such as LDAP directory exceptions.
-31100 .. -31199 Access denied messages, such as access denied due to a blocked client IP address.
-32000 .. -32768 Standard JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol errors. These are codes reserved by the RPC protocol to indicate errors such as badly formatted JSON-RPC 2.0 requests or invalid method parameters.

Here is an example JSON-RPC 2.0 response that reports an -2000 error:

{ "error"   : { "message" : "Bad username/password",
                "code"    : -2000 },
  "id"      : "0001",
  "jsonrpc" : "2.0" }

The exact format of error responses is described in the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification.

LdapAuth keeps error messages deliberately concise. To obtain more information about the cause of an error examine the LdapAuth log file (logging must be enabled at INFO level).
