APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
Customer had been using the user enrollment function to enroll
users in the windows domain and synchronize passwords. After the
group was applied and the server synchronized with the new
qvnadaem.exe enrolling new users would fail with msgnta0274
although apparently successful. Qvnadaem also crashed at least
once. Removing SI44683 and copying the older version of qvnadaem
from the ifs to the server resolved the issue.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE51446 :
-----------------------------
1. The qvnadaem.exe will crash when enrolling a user with a
template into a domain and he template string length is shorter
than that of enrolled profile description. This is because the
code forgets to recalculate the template string length before
allocating its memory. In stead, it duly uses profile
description's string length mistakenly. So when freeing
template's memory, the illegal memory is mistakenly freed, thus
causing code crash.

2.When enrolling a user with a template into a domain and the
user already being one of the template's enrolled group's
members, the enrollment will not succeed. This is because
Microsoft has adopted three sets of error code for ADSI.  When
comparing and judge if an error is hit, the wrong error code is
used, thus causing an enrollment failure.

This fix has solved both problems.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE51446 :
