!!! Overview[1]
We have gathered [LDAP] [Result Code] from several sources including our own observations.
The [IANA Registry] [resultCode values|https://www.iana.org/assignments/ldap-parameters/ldap-parameters.xhtml#ldap-parameters-6|target='_blank'] is the "official" listing.
!! More Specific [{$pagename}]:
* [Common Active Directory Bind Errors]
* [Common Edirectory Bind Errors]
* [LDAP To JNDI Result Code Mappings]
! NOTE [LDAP Error Codes] vs [{$pagename}]
LDAP is a request-response protocol and each request, is followed by a response. A success result code (0) implies all is well.
Though many people refer to them as [LDAP Error Codes], they are really [LDAP Result] codes. Other result codes [MAY] or [MAY] __NOT__ be [errors].
Anyhow, here you can find many [{$pagename}] and what they imply.
!! Result Code values - per [RFC 4520]
All [{$pagename}] are registered in the [IANA Registry] [resultCode values|https://www.iana.org/assignments/ldap-parameters/ldap-parameters.xml#ldap-parameters-6|target='_blank'] as described in [RFC 4520]
We list them here as they were on 2016-08-05:

||Hex||Decimal||Name||Owner||Reference||INIT||Short Summary
|0x00|[0|LDAP 0]|[LDAP_SUCCESS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that the associated operation completed successfully.
|0x01|[1|LDAP 1]|[LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that the associated request was out of sequence with another operation in progress (e.g., a non-bind request in the middle of a multi-stage SASL bind).It does not indicate that the client has sent an erroneous message.\\eDirectory: In NDS 8.3x through NDS 7.xx, this was the default error for NDS errors that did not map to an LDAP error code. To conform to the new LDAP drafts, NDS 8.5 uses 80 (0x50) for such errors.
|0x02|[2|LDAP 2]|[LDAP_PROTOCOL_ERROR]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that the client ([DUA]) sent data to the server that did not comprise a valid LDAP request.
|0x03|[3|LDAP 3]|[LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that processing on the associated request [Timeout] limit specified by __either the client request or the server administration limits__ has been exceeded and has been terminated because it took too long to complete. For a [SearchRequest] operation, it is possible that some of the matching entries had been returned when the [Timeout] limit was reached.
|0x04|[4|LDAP 4]|[LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that there were more entries matching the criteria contained in a [SearchRequest] operation than were allowed to be returned by the size limit configuration. Incomplete results may be returned.
|0x05|5|[LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Does not indicate an error condition. This is used to indicate that a [Compare Request] operation completed successfully, but the provided attribute value assertion did not match the target entry.
|0x06|6|[LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Does not indicate an error condition. This is used to indicate that a [Compare Request] operation completed successfully, and the provided attribute value assertion matched the target entry.
|0x07|7|[LDAP_AUTH_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|This is used to indicate that the Directory Server does not support the requested [Authentication Method].
|0x08|8|[LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|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 Request] that requires strong authentication.\\* In an [Unsolicited Notification] of disconnection, the LDAP server discovers the security protecting the communication between the client and server has unexpectedly failed or been compromised.
|0x09|9|reserved(partialResults)|IESG|[RFC 4511]|N/A|([Deprecated]) Was used when [LDAPv2] where the [Server] ([DSA]) returned a "partial result" [{$pagename}] response that contains the referral [URL].
|0x0A|10|[LDAP_REFERRAL]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Does not indicate an error condition. In [LDAPv3], indicates that the server does not hold the target entry of the request, but that the servers in the [LDAP Referral] field may.
|0x0B|11|[LDAP_ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|
|0x0C|12|[LDAP_UNAVAILABLE_CRITICAL_EXTENSION]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the LDAP server was unable to satisfy a request because one or more critical [extensions|SupportedExtension] were not available. Either the server does not support the [control|SupportedControl] or the [control|SupportedControl] is not appropriate for the operation type.
|0x0D|13|[LDAP_CONFIDENTIALITY_REQUIRED]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the session is not protected by a protocol such as [Transport Layer Security] ([TLS]), which provides session [confidentiality] and the request will not be handled without [confidentiality] enabled.
|0x0E|14|[LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Does not indicate an error condition, but indicates that the server is ready for the next step in the process. The [client|DUA] must send the server the same [SASL Mechanism] to continue the process.

|0x10|16|[LDAP_NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the attribute specified in the [Modify Request] or [Compare Request] operation does not exist in the entry.
|0x11|17|[LDAP_UNDEFINED_TYPE]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the attribute specified in the modify or add operation does not exist in the LDAP server's schema.
|0x12|18|[LDAP_INAPPROPRIATE_MATCHING]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the matching rule specified in the [search filter|LDAP SearchFilters] does not match a rule defined for the attribute's syntax.
|0x13|19|[LDAP_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the attribute value specified in a [Add Request], [Modify Request] or [ModifyDNRequest] operation violates constraints placed on the attribute. The constraint can be one of size or content (string only, no binary).
|0x14|20|[LDAP_TYPE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the attribute value specified in a [Add Request] or [Modify Request] operation already exists as a value for that attribute.
|0x15|21|[LDAP_INVALID_SYNTAX]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the attribute value specified in an [Add Request], [Compare Request], or [Modify Request] operation is an unrecognized or invalid syntax for the attribute.
|N/A|22-31|Not used.|N/A|N/A|N/A|N/A
|0x20|32|[LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates the target object cannot be found. This code is __NOT__ returned on following operations:\\* [SearchRequest] operations that find the [BaseDN] but __cannot__ find any [LDAP entries|LDAP Entry] that match the search filter.\\* [Bind Request] operations.
|0x21|33|[LDAP_ALIAS_PROBLEM]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that an error occurred when an alias was dereferenced.
|0x22|34|[LDAP_INVALID_DN_SYNTAX]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the syntax of the [DN] is incorrect. (If the DN syntax is correct, but the LDAP server's [structure rules|DIT Structure Rule] do not permit the operation, the server returns [LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM].)
|0x23|35|[LDAP_IS_LEAF](Some Server RESERVED)|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|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.)
|0x24|36|[LDAP_ALIAS_DEREF_PROBLEM]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that during a [SearchRequest] operation, either the client does not have access rights to read the aliased object's name or dereferencing is not allowed.
|N/A|37-47|reserved|N/A|N/A|N/A|N/A
|0x30|48|[LDAP_INAPPROPRIATE_AUTH]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that during a [Bind Request] operation, the client is attempting to use an [authentication Method] that the client cannot use correctly. For example, either of the following cause this error:\\* The client returns simple [credentials] when strong [credentials] are required.\\* The client returns a [DN] and a password for a [simple bind|Simple Authentication] when the entry does not have a [password] defined.
|0x31|49|[LDAP_INVALID_CREDENTIALS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that during a [Bind Request] operation one of the following occurred:\\* The client passed either an incorrect DN or password.\\* The password is incorrect because it has expired, [Intruder Detection] has locked the account, or some other similar reason.
|0x32|50|[LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the caller does not have sufficient rights to perform the requested operation.
|0x33|51|[LDAP_BUSY]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the LDAP server is too busy to process the client request at this time but if the client waits and resubmits the request, the server may be able to process it then.
|0x34|52|[LDAP_UNAVAILABLE]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the LDAP server cannot process the client's bind request, usually because it is shutting down.
|0x35|53|[LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the LDAP server cannot process the request because of server-defined restrictions. This error is returned for the following reasons:\\* The [Add Request] violates the server's structure rules.\\* The [Modify Request] specifies attributes that users cannot modify.\\* Password restrictions prevent the action.\\* Connection restrictions prevent the action.
|0x36|54|[LDAP_LOOP_DETECT]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the client discovered an alias or [LDAP Referral] loop, and is thus unable to complete this request.
|N/A|55-63|reserved|IESG|N/A|N/A|N/A
|0x40|64|[LDAP_NAMING_VIOLATION]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the [Add Request] or [Modify DN Request] operation violates the schema's structure rules. For example:\\* The request places the entry subordinate to an alias.\\* The request places the entry subordinate to a container that is forbidden by the containment rules.\\* The [RDN] for the entry uses a forbidden attribute type.
|0x41|65|[LDAP_OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the [Add Request], [Modify Request], 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.
|0x42|66|[LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|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.
|0x43|67|[LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_RDN]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the modify operation attempted to remove an attribute value that forms the entry's relative distinguished name.
|0x44|68|[LDAP_ALREADY_EXISTS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the add operation attempted to add an entry that already exists, or that the modify operation attempted to rename an entry to the name of an entry that already exists.
|0x45|69|[LDAP_NO_OBJECT_CLASS_MODS]|IESG|[RFC 4511]|[DSA]|Indicates that the modify operation attempted to modify the structure rules of an object class.

|0x5c|92|[LDAP_NOT_SUPPORTED]| | |[DUA]|[client-side result code|LDAP Client Error And Result Codes] Indicates that the requested functionality is not supported by the client. For example, if the LDAP client is established as an LDAPv2 client, the libraries set this error code when the client requests LDAPv3 functionality.
|0x5d|93|[LDAP_CONTROL_NOT_FOUND]| | |[DUA]|[client-side result code|LDAP Client Error And Result Codes] Indicates that the client requested a control that the libraries cannot find in the list of supported controls sent by the LDAP server.

|0x7B|121|cannotCancel|IESG|[RFC 3909]|[DSA]|Returned if the identified operation does not support cancellation or the cancel operation could not be performed.
|0x7C|122|assertionFailed|IESG|[RFC 4528]|[DSA]|When the control is attached to an LDAP request, the processing of the request is conditional on the evaluation of the Filter as applied against the target of the operation. If the Filter evaluates to TRUE, then the request is processed normally. If the Filter evaluates to FALSE or Undefined, then assertionFailed (122) resultCode is returned, and no further processing is performed.
|0x7D|123|authorizationDenied|WELTMAN|[RFC 4532]|[DSA]|Used to indicate that the server does not allow the client to assume the asserted identity.
