Dear There Our server is using LDAP, but I found there was an issue when I use -y file option to set the password of LDAP User. the User password was defined in server system as 7 characters without any "\0" when I try to use ldapsearch or ldapmodify with the option -y to give the password I am for sure the password in file is exactly same with I set. And I did a capture for LDAP, I saw there is a \0 in the suffix of password, this means the tool adds an additional '\0' in the last. then I got the error output li%0 below ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

As I check the src in the file "libraries\liblutil\passfile.c"

passwd->bv_len = nread; passwd->bv_val[nread] = '\0'; is this necessary for a \0

BR//shifeng Thanks!
