Description Vince Brimhall 2005-03-07 16:07:23 UTC 
The uidNumber and gidNumber are converted to strings as unsigned integers before
being passed to LDAP. This does not match with the definitions in rfc2307

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2307.txt?number=2307

where they are signed values. When a search is done using uidNumber or gidNumber
and the value exceeds the maximum positive integer value NDS returns a syntax error.

I've attached a patch which forces these values to signed integers in the ldap
query so that LDAP servers which do strict checking won't fail an large values.

patch looks good to me.  I'll do some local testing and 
then check it into 3.0.  Thanks.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
