296510 - LDAP binddn and password not used for X509 certificate fetches

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-1)

Hi,

I am using Thunderbird on a Windows XP machine against an W2k3 Server with 
ADS.

I added the ADS as an LDAP server to the Address Book, which works well. Since
ADS does not allow anonymous queries, a binddn and a password is given. Works 
well for the address book.

But when trying to send an s/mime encrypted message, Thunderbird should ask 
the LDAP server for the user certificate. It does indeed as the LDAP 
server is configured, but does not use the binddn and the password.
That's the problem. Since the server does not allow anonymous queries, 
the certificate is not found.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a W2k3 server ADS as LDAP directory
2. Check that the address book is working with it
3. Send an s/mime encrypted message to anyone in the address book and 
   watch the LDAP query (e.g. with ethereal)
