Closed: wontfix 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by firstyear.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1445188

Description of problem:
Because of a wrong port number used in commandline for ladpmodify, I am getting
in error logs -
[25/Apr/2017:03:03:32.806827033 -0400] - ERR - log_ber_too_big_error - conn=12
fd=64 Incoming BER Element was 3 bytes, max allowable is 2097152 bytes. Change
the nsslapd-maxbersize attribute in cn=config to increase.

which is misleading

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-9.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure MMR with SSL

2. execute - /usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapmodify -Z -P
"/etc/dirsrv/slapd-M1/cert8.db" -W secret12 -p 30100 -h localhost -D
"cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 << EOF
dn: uid=new_user4,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
uid: new_user4
sn: new_user4
cn: new_user4
EOF

where 30100 is non-ssl port (wrong port number)

3. you will get below on command line -
ldap_simple_bind: Can't contact LDAP server
        SSL error -5938 (Encountered end of file.)

4. And in error messages, it will show -
[25/Apr/2017:03:13:17.830291071 -0400] - ERR - log_ber_too_big_error - conn=16
fd=64 Incoming BER Element was 3 bytes, max allowable is 2097152 bytes. Change
the nsslapd-maxbersize attribute in cn=config to increase.
[25/Apr/2017:03:22:08.700482270 -0400] - ERR - log_ber_too_big_error - conn=22
fd=64 Incoming BER Element was 3 bytes, max allowable is 2097152 bytes. Change
the nsslapd-maxbersize attribute in cn=config to increase.


Actual results:
Error message for a wrong port-

[25/Apr/2017:03:13:17.830291071 -0400] - ERR - log_ber_too_big_error - conn=16
fd=64 Incoming BER Element was 3 bytes, max allowable is 2097152 bytes. Change
the nsslapd-maxbersize attribute in cn=config to increase.
[25/Apr/2017:03:22:08.700482270 -0400] - ERR - log_ber_too_big_error - conn=22
fd=64 Incoming BER Element was 3 bytes, max allowable is 2097152 bytes. Change
the nsslapd-maxbersize attribute in cn=config to increase.


Expected results:
Errors message should be helpful in pointing out the mistake.
