The net ads cldap initiates an MS-CLDAP exchange with a domain controller. In the current version of Samba (both SAMBA_3_0 and HEAD), the parsing of the result is incorrect. The packet is actually compressed using DNS compression (see RFC 1035 4.1.4).
Created attachment 10 [details] Patch to add DNS decompression support This fix has been tested with two different domains with different topology. The new parsing routines now identify 4 unknown fields... Hopefully more testing will reveal what they actually are.
