Hello, Firstly, I hope this is the correct list

Relevant versions: O/S: Debian Etch (server) - Debian Lenny (client) Slapd : OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.30 Client libs : libldap2 (debian)

I'm seeing some problems using the ldap_add_s function call - For some reason the mods.mod_values array *appears* to be empty - slapd reports that it's missing values for the attribute type and wireshark confirms that to be the case (partial extract below).

addRequest entry: macaddress=002145ccfadf,dc=nodomain attributes: 2 items Item macaddress type: macaddress vals: 0 items

The below is the partial source code involved.

Code : char * vals[LdapDefaults::MAX_MODS][2];

ACE_DEBUG((LM_DEBUG, "(%t) Add Entry %s:%s %D \n", tempName, tempValue)); vals[loopcount][0] = new char [LdapDefaults::MAX_OPTION_LEN]; vals[loopcount][1] = 0; opTypes[loopcount] = new char [LdapDefaults::MAX_OPTION_LEN]; mod[loopcount].mod_op = 0; strcpy (opTypes[loopcount], tempName); strcpy (vals[loopcount][0], tempValue); mod[loopcount].mod_type = new char [LdapDefaults::MAX_OPTION_LEN]; strcpy (mod[loopcount].mod_type ,opTypes[loopcount]); mod[loopcount].mod_values = vals[loopcount];

loopcount ++; ++ nvpBegin ;

for (int counter = 0 ; counter < loopcount ; counter ++) { mods[counter] = &mod[counter]; mods[counter]->mod_values = sn_values; ADA_DEBUG ((LM_DEBUG, "Value == %s\n", mods[counter]->mod_values[0])); } mods[loopcount] = 0;

errCode = ldap_add_s(pld, tempDn , mods) ;

addRequest entry: macaddress=002145ccfadf,dc=nodomain attributes: 2 items Item macaddress type: macaddress vals: 0 items

There are a couple of curious things here.

1. Assigning mod->mod_values to a statically declared array ( char *sn_values[] = { "Jensen", NULL }; mods[counter]->mod_values = sn_values;) does not change the behavior 2. Debugging the contents of mods[i]->mod_values[0] immediately before and after the call to ldap_add_s shows that the correct values as being present in the structure. 3. Building a standalone test application and directly linking my library produced works as expected.

Any thoughts on how to debug this further much appreciated.

Thanks Sean
