The changes in inet6 handling somewhere between Net::LDAP 0.44 and
Net::LDAP 0.52 breaks Amavis' ability to talk to LDAP.
I can trivially reproduce the issue with a test script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use lib '/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib';
use Net::LDAP;
my $hostlist="ldap://zqa-398.eng.vmware.com:389";;
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($hostlist,
inet6 => 1,
);
if (!$ldap) { # connect failed
print "connect_to_ldap: unable to connect to host $hostlist\n";
}
zimbra@zqa-398:~/zimbramon/lib/Net$ /tmp/test-ldap.pl
connect_to_ldap: unable to connect to host ldap://zqa-398.eng.vmware.com:389
This worked fine in perl 0.44. I would note the system is only listening
to IPv4. It appears that with perl-ldap 0.52, if it cannot talk to the
server on IPv6, it will *not* fall back to IPv4, whereas with perl 0.44, it
would.
