[php-maint] Bug#428468: ldap-account-manager: reports "No such entry" or "Can't contact server"

[Brian May]

Hello,

I just reproduced this same problem with gq in debian etch.

That is, the same entries that can not be seen in ldap-account-manager
cannot be seen in gq either. gq reports "fetching <entry> from server"
even after the operation has presumably aborted.

I do not know if this means that the bug is in the slapd server or if
gq just happens to share the same buggy code with php.

I do know that in experimenting with this, my slapd server has died on
two occasions (I can't reproduce this).

ldapsearch has no problems accessing the data.

Then again, this is getting confusing, gq works fine if I turn off ssl
support :-(.

Summary:

on server:

ldap-account-manager   ldap://localhost    BAD
ldapsearch             ldap://localhost    OK
ldapsearch             ldap://remotehost   OK
ldapsearch             ldaps://remotehost  OK


from another computer:

ldapsearch             ldap://remotehost   OK
ldapsearch             ldaps://remotehost  OK
gq                     ldap://remotehost   OK
gq                     ldaps://remotehost  BAD

As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter if I authenticate or bind
anonymously.

Thanks.
