You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If the password hash string on the LDAP server is about
128 bytes or larger, secldapclntd may fail to handle that
large hash string. As a consequence the affected LDAP
based user fails.

Local fix

  • Avoid a setup on the LDAP server which comes up with
password hash strings larger then about 128 bytes.

Problem summary

  • LDAP users with long password hash may be unable to validate
account or log in.

Problem conclusion

  • Data structure for password hash have been increased to the
documented max size (255). This keeps the basic logic of the
function while ensuring supported encryptions do not fail.

Temporary fix
