Description

I'm currently playing around with a small raspi-cluster - the intention is to have unified LDAP login via libpam-ldapd and NFS mounted home-dirs.

t

While setting up libpam-ldapd together with apacheds worked like charm - during some tests i noticed, that secondary group names don't work.

 

Tinkering around with the log-levels revealed a NullPointerException

at org.apache.directory.api.ldap.codec.actions.controls.StoreControlValue.action(StoreControlValue.java:81)

 

I tried to isolate the cause of the error to build a test-case but while finding my way through the code-base I stranded in the mina and ldap-api repo.

I'm willing to provide every information that is needed to dive deeper into this issue.

A Capture (pcap) of the ldap_search from nslcp aswell as (basically) the same search from studio (which suprisingly works just fine) are attached aswell as the DEBUG log which also contains the HEX for the network request.
