title: What does the LDAP response tuple (97, []) mean?
body: <p>I am using python-ldap to try to authenticate against an existing Active Directory, and when I use the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import ldap
  l = ldap.initialize('LDAP://example.com')
  m = l.simple_bind_s(username@example.com,password)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following back:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print m
  (97, [])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What does the 97 and empty list signify coming from a Microsoft Active Directory server?</p>
  
  <p>I gather this is a successful authentication since it doesn't error (which it does if you use the wrong password or non-existent username), but I'd like to know if the tuple means something useful.</p>
