Bah, the bind credentials I was given can't see that attribute even though
I was told it could. That'll teach me to trust people. ;)
However, is there a way to determine why this failed? "Decoding error" isn't
nearly as useful as "This attribute doesn't exist".
OpenLDAP software is usually fair. When it gets "This attribute doesn't
exist" it prints "This attribute doesn't exist". If it prints "Decoding
error" then it was unable to decode the server's response.
Unfortunately you seem to pretend that the client uses a crystal ball
instead of pretending that the server returns well-formed packets. And
you seem to pretend that we also use a crystal ball by not providing any
useful info about the players in your game.
What server, what version, what request is being sent? Can you provide
a dump of the response, in order to try to understand why OpenLDAP can't
decode it? I infer from a previous message of yours that you're using
the client library from OpenLDAP 2.4.8, can you confirm this?
