[Ispman-developers] perdition 1.18rc1 + ldap + email login

[TheSin <th...@so...>]

Hey guys I wanted to save some problems for others, I just spent 4  
days trying to figure this out.  I just sent this to the perdition  
list so I hope it gets fixed, just incase I thought I'd share, here is  
what I sent to their list.  Hope it helps.

I'm not sure if this affects all ldap users, but since 1.18rc1 I  
couldn't login anymore using us...@do... like used in ispman.

We used to use

http://server/?o=ispman?mailRoutingAddress?sub?(uid=%25s)

Since it's not using serverdb_get2 I updated that line to use

http://server/?o=ispman?mailRoutingAddress,mailHost?sub?(uid=%25s)

Which works 100% using ldap search  It returns

mailRoutingAddress = user_domain_tld@mailHost
mailHost = mailHost

so I had to also add to perdition.conf

strip_domain remote_login

Now that being said even with all that I'd get server null, looking  
into perditiondb_ldap.c I found that it wasn't setting the ref  
values.  I had to changes these lines

        /* Build the return string */
        if (returns[0])
                user_str = &returns[0];
        if (returns[1])
                server_str = &returns[1];
        if (returns[2])
                port_str = &returns[2];

to look like this

        /* Build the return string */
        if (returns[0])
                *user_str = returns[0];
        if (returns[1])
                *server_str = returns[1];
        if (returns[2])
                *port_str = returns[2];

Now everything works 100%, server gets set as does the user, hope this  
helps others cause it was 4 days of hell for me :D
