246694 - 64-bit build: incorrect handling of password policy response

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Directory :: LDAP Tools, defect)

Description

[Mark Smith [:mcs]]

In a 64-bit compilation (where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int), the LDAP command
line tools do not correctly handle the password policy response.  This is
because ints are passed to ber_scanf() instead of longs.  Reported by Netscape.

This fix only affects the LDAP command line tools which are not used by Mozilla
client projects.  Fix committed to the trunk:

     Fix bug # 246694 - 64-bit build: incorrect handling of
                        password policy response.
       The 'i' format specifier to ber_scanf() requires a long arg, not int.
