Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo-ldap
As per debian/rules in the sudo source package, the configure script get
passed:
--with-ldap-conf-file=/etc/ldap/ldap.conf \
This is clearly wrong, as README.LDAP state:
Configure your /etc/ldap.conf
=============================
The /etc/ldap.conf file is meant to be shared between sudo,
pam_ldap, nss_ldap and other ldap applications and modules.
In Ubuntu, the configuration file of nss_ldap and pam_ldap /etc/ldap.conf.
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf is used by OpenLDAP client utilities, such as ldapsearch,
lpdapadd, etc, and use a different format that the pam_ldap/nss_ldap config
files. Thus, it make no sense to use /etc/ldap/ldap.conf for the LDAP
configuration of sudo.
I think relying on the configuration file of another software package is
really a problem with upstream, but we could fix it in Ubuntu by having
the configure line discussed above changed to :
--with-ldap-conf-file=/etc/ldap.conf \
