Yes.

The problem is that openldap will not return
ldapsearch -b "" -s base '(objectclass=*)'

This is not an openldap issue; solaris needs to specify attrs it is
looking for and all would be well.

I believe that you can make it work without this patch, but you have to
manually create /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred and /var/ldap/ldap_client_file
files.
