Re: Netscape Problem due to LDAP 'Unknown error' (0xFFFFFFFF)

[Peter Van Biesen <peter.vanbiesen@vlafo.be>]

Hi,

I've got the same problem with my netscape 4.74 on linux connecting to
an openldap 2.0.23 on HPUX. Everything works fine, as long as you let
the autocomplete do its work, but if you type fast en hit enter before
netscape can expand the name, it gives that error. So normally, I just
wait until the name was resolved and then hit enter. 

Strangely enough this problem does not occur when using the netscape
ldap server, maybe it does something fishy ? I haven't investigated
further, maybe you could start the server in debug mode and see what
goes wrong ( does netscape manage to connect or does it supply
incomplete parameters ... ). But knowing netscape, it is probably dirty
programming of their part ...

CU,

Peter.
