Has anyone verified this patch yet? I would like to give it a try, but I'm not really in a testing environment. Thanks.

it didn't worked for me, no idea why exactly.
The issue i observed was that ldap_search_s was chasing referrals by binding anonymously (and my AD server doesn't allow it)

If it's any help: i used ldap_set_rebind_proc to force openldap to re-bind with ldap_simple_bind_s (and the correct binddn/bindpw), for thoses interested, i attached the patch i did even if i'm unsure it is bugless.

There are two patches here. Is there anyone else who can confirm that one or both of these patches work?

The second patch, using ldap_set_rebind_proc() appears to be the better idea.

The first patch, to disable LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS might not be needed if ldap_set_rebind_proc() solution works. If it doesn't, then disabling LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS should be a config option.

Either way, this ticket needs some feedback from people actively using lighttpd with LDAP to make sure we get this right. Please post if either of these patches work for you. Thanks.

  • Tracker changed from Bug to Feature

Changing to feature request. Still requires feedback.

Tangentially related ticket https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2464 "patch for intermittent ldap failures" might reduce the occurrence of the errors here, too.
