When Java 1.4.2_03 is used to do an LDAP bind with a non-existent Dn, the Identity Server/LDAP Server returns err=32 in its access log but yet Java throws a AuthenticationException. However, as per the LDAP rfc and as per JNDI documentation err=32 should map to NameNotFoundException in Java.

JNDI docs: http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/models/exceptions.html

I know for a fact that Java is indeed receiving a err=32 from the server because I've changed my code to not catch AuthenticationException and just printStackTrace instead and I get:

javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]

This needs to fixed and a err=32 should throw a proper NameNotFoundException.
