Description Matus Honek 2017-10-05 07:51:57 EDT

Description of problem:
Due to a patch from bug 38402, OpenLDAP clients do not make use of ldaprc configuration file placed in the current directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Any RHEL-7.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set some option in an ldaprc file in the current directory.
2. Run a client (e.g. ldapsearch) from the very same directory.
3. See that the option is not taken into account at all.

Actual results:
Manpage states the ./ldaprc is used.

Expected results:
Manpage states the ./ldaprc is not used and that this diverges from usual (upstream) behaviour.

Additional info:
I believe it is unfortunate this change of behaviour got into downstream but in order not to introduce a regression rather manpage should be corrected instead of dropping the patch that causes the issue.
