Binding with username and password fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to bind to an LDAP server using a username and password

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect the bind to succeed.  Instead, get this exception (net-ldap)

NoMethodError (undefined method `to_ber' for

Or this exception (JRuby)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.2.0, 1.2.1 (svn trunk) on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Please provide any additional information below.

I have been able to fix this by editing line 1007 in lib/active_ldap/base.rb.  
It currently reads

config = {:bind_dn => dn, :allow_anonymous => false}.merge(config)

I changed it so dn (which is an instance of ActiveLdap::DistinguishedName) is 
converted to a 
String:

config = {:bind_dn => dn.to_s, :allow_anonymous => false}.merge(config)

Really? 1.2.1 will be fixed it.
Please try again.
