Issue ID: 10371
Summary: tools don't print useful error codes
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: client tools
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
In tools/common.c, if ldap_result() returns an error, this return value is used
directly as an LDAP error code in the subsequent call to tool_perror(). That is
incorrect; ldap_result() always returns -1 on errors. The actual return code
must be retrieved using ldap_get_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_RESULT_CODE,...). So up
till now the tools have never printed the actual error message that's relevant
to whatever failure occurred.
Other applications appear to have copied this erroneous behavior. E.g., in
investigating ITS#10370 I see that curl's code does the same thing.
