Connectionless LDAP (ie: cldap enabled with -DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS) is broken for IPv6 for current versions of openldap. Tested with version 2.4.35 It's not clear if this ever worked properly. Connections immediately fail with: ldap_search_ext: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
The reason for this is that the LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS buffers include a prefix containing an address in a "struct sockaddr". However, struct sockaddr, is not a concrete type. In particular struct sockaddr_in6 is longer than struct sockaddr. Noted here: http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=blob;f=libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c;h=d997e92910954b943e5b3fe7139ff4caaeaf49bf;hb=HEAD#l886 So this leads to failures when using IPv6 as the code assumes that the address length is equal to sizeof (struct sockaddr). Seen here: http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=blob;f=libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c;h=d997e92910954b943e5b3fe7139ff4caaeaf49bf;hb=HEAD#l940
Example command: $ ldapsearch -d -1 -LL -H 'cldap://[2620:52:0:2223::1:1]' -b '' -s base '(&(DnsDomain=ad.baseos.qe)(NtVer=\06\00\00\00))' NetLogon Output will contain this: ldap_write: want=96 error=Invalid argument Which is the EINVAL resulting from bad value passed to sendto().
Created attachment 796913 [details] Patch for openldap 2.4.35
I'm quite reluctant to apply this patch without it being upstreamed first.
The fixes have landed in upstream git.
Fix pushed to 'private-jsynacek-rhel-7-cldap-fix'. http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/openldap/commit/?h=private-jsynacek-rhel-7-cldap-fix&id=80e0e83b19c3bcbe04b91de9019a27c689d5bd54
