Rails - Sep 2006 - NET::LDAP Help Anyone? Maybe session Help? Bring my server to it's knees Help?

Does anybody know what the correct way to cache results from
Net::LDAP bind_as?  I''ve been struggling for about a day now and I
know it''s something really easy. But when ever I do something like
this -

   def self.login(username, password)
      begin
      ldap = Net::LDAP.new
      ldap.host = "192.168.1.16"
      ldap.port = 389

      result = ldap.bind_as(
        :base => "dc=net",
        :filter => "(cn=#{username})",
        :password => password
      )

      @dn = result.first.dn
      rescue => e
          false
       end

     end

and in my controller I do

if request.post?

        session[:user_id] = AuthUser.login(params[:user]["username"],
params[:user]["password"])

end

My server returns a 500 error.  I''ve tried from lighttpd and
locomotive.  Both return the same generic error.  I suspect it''s
related to the object returned is not compatible with the
marshal_dump.   So the question is how do I copy the values from the
result set into my session object? Sorry if this is a stupid noobie
question but I am one so.  :)

Thanks in advance.
