Description Greg Bock 2012-02-25 17:01:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

nss_ldap-253-49 fails to bind when ldap.secret does not contain a newline. This appears to be due to work done on the configuration parser in nss_ldap-253-bigparse.patch between versions 253-42.el5_7.4 and 253-49.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss_ldap-253-49


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create the contents of /etc/ldap.secret without a newline (echo -n PASSWORD > /etc/ldap.secret).

  
Actual results:
Operations against nss_ldap fail to bind to the ldap server. 
id: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable

Expected results:
Previously working configurations should continue to work.

Thank you for the bug report. This is indeed a regression caused by the config parser.
