OpenLDAP 2.3 libldap upgrade howto
Just incase someone has some free time and feels like hacking on rlm_ldap, here is some documentation thanks to the openSUSE crew (Darix in particular) who pointed out to me that "uses -DLDAP_DEPRECATED to avoid OpenLDAP crashes" was probably not the best way to solve the problem :-) http://en.opensuse.org/OpenLDAP_2.3_libldap_upgrade_howto Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://peternixon.net/

While that's a good solution, having libldap *crash* because a program is using the "old" API is annoying. It still builds, so it *looks* like it will work... but it doesn't. OpenLDAP should choose either *not* letting it build. *or* fixing it so it doesn't crash. Alan DeKok.
