I kind of think they ought to be documented differently, so that people don't confuse SIDs with RIDs (as often happened in OpenLDAP 2.2) but it's probably fine the way it is. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

The SID in the CSN has always been hex (but usually zero). The RID is not part of the CSN and has always been decimal. Since the RID only needs to be unique within a particular slapd instance, there's no real problem there. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Re: (ITS#5106) LDAPI problem on amd64

Having said this, I don't know if it will solve your problem, but at least it would make sure it's not fixed yet. No need to say that things work fine here on Linux/amd64. p. Ing.
