Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, OpenLDAP used incorrect data types for storing the length of the values used by the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interface in the SQL back end implementation. As a consequence, the LDAP server terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault after a few operations. This update modifies the code to use the correct data types so that the LDAP server no longer crashes when using the SQL back end.
