On what operating system? version: 0.11.4 OS: FreeBSD 12.1 Lua: 5.2.4 Lua LDAP: 1.1.0 It might not be Prosody fault, but as I didn't fiddle with lua much, I'd appreciate the help in debugging this error.

Your version of Lua-LDAP is bumping into Prosodys environment protection. This is fixed by https://github.com/lualdap/lualdap/commit/5d2a85903ffc2f970311329a6ae5888cdc6caffe If you can update Lua-LDAP or apply this patch the error should go way. If you can't do either of those, as a last resort it is possible to disable the protection, but try updating/patching first and report back.

It took me a while to install newer Lua-LDAP, but it works now. It will take a while for me to create a FreeBSD port/package, but at least I know what I need to do. Thank you!
