https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555189 Fix proposal https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=383582&action=diff Description of problem: ldclt code is not passing the password correctly to ldap_sasl_bind_s. The server receives NULL credential. Due to the default configuration: nsslapd-allow-unauthenticated-binds: off the unauthenticated bind fails. Fix description When "-e randombinddnfromfile=file" is given, bind dn and password pair is retrieved from the file and is supposed to pass to ldap_sasl_bind_s. Although the password was read from the file, but it was not set to the berval "cred" which was passed to ldap_sasl_bind_s. Therefore, the bind operation tried to bind with bind dn and NULL password, which now fails since it's considered as an unauthenticated bind. Also, a usage typo is being fixed. -- 389-devel mailing list 389-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-devel
