[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#505215: Bug#505215: Bug#505215: ldapsam: Samba's use of the modify password exop causes password change propagation to fail

[Christian Perrier]

Ralph, I bringed that issue on IRC (#samba-technical on freenode):

17:46 < bubulle> hmmm, I looking again at what we reported as #5886 (Debian bug #505215). It seems that our
                 user's analysis is very complete and he probably proposes the right patch
17:47 < bubulle> could someone with the right knowledge of what's inside source/passdb/pdb_ldap.c look at this
                 bug?
17:53 <@idra> bubulle, N is not recognize by many ldap libraries and should not be used indeed
17:53 <@idra> it adds really nothing, just changes the ASN.1 encoding incompatibly
17:54 <@idra> bubulle, do you gave means to reproduce it ?
17:55 < bubulle> idra: the original bug submitter in Debian (mentioned in
                 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505215) probably has
17:55 <@idra> bubulle, ok you should try with a patch that removes N compeltely and leaves only "}"
17:56  * bubulle no. I have no samba setup with LDAP...and I'm very dumb with this
17:56 <@idra> I think I had the same error in FreeIPA and it even prevented compiling against mozldap libraries
              as N is something only recent openldap libraries understand
17:57 <@idra> (and is not necessary)


("idra" is Simo Sorce from the Samba Team)

Could you try reproducing the bug with the fix proposed by Simo?
