Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228439

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect)

Description

[Andrew Perry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030911
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030929

Performing a search for LDAP addressbook listing in recent builds causes Moz to
hang for a bit and no results are found.  This happens in both a new mail window
and in the addressbook .... reverting to a previous version of Moz (2003091104)
allows me to use LDAP searches without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create LDAP Directory.  Set it for default search when creating mail.  Create
New Mail.  Type in a name to search .... 

Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs for quite a few seconds and returns no results.

Expected Results:  
Results should be listed below address window.

Bug still exists in latest builds 2003100711 ... reverting to build 2003091104 again

Still trying to narrow down the bug .. 
1)  Ethereal capture shows NO packets being sent to LDAP (Port 389)
2)  This problem is specific to XP Only (NT 4 is working fine)

I have removed entire MOZ directory .. I have created a new profile .. none of
these troubleshooting ideas are helping ..

WORKAROUND:

This problem was a result of the MICROSOFT ADVANCED NETWORKING PACK that
installs IPv6 Peer-to-Peer, etc.
The Network Connection in XP had IPv6 installed, but disabled.
I had to remove Uninstall IPv6 (via command line IPv6 UNINSTALL) and reboot ..
everything is working fine now.

Can someone else confirm that LDAP does not work with IPv6 installed on XP and
unchecked as a working protocol for the network connection?

I'm not sure if LDAP works with IPv6 installed or not. Cc'ing Dan and Darin.

[Christian Emig]

No. The LDAP-IPv6 Bug was introduced between 1.5 release and 1.6 alpha as
described in Bug 228439 . Until 1.5 release LDAP worked on Win XP perfectly if
IPv6 stack was installed.
