[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#781162: Bug#781162: slapd segfaults on pass-through SASL authentication

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

You referred to saslauthd in your original message, but I noticed that 
the crash only happens if pwcheck_method in /etc/ldap/sasl2/slapd.conf 
is set to auxprop (or not set at all; auxprop is the default), whereas 
for pass-through authentication, AFAIK one would normally choose the 
saslauthd method (which, for me, works correctly and does not crash). Is 
that configuration by you intentional?

The SASL configuration is mentioned in the upstream docs:
