Actual results: nothing. most importantly, there was no password prompt for the binding part, as it was yesterday before the update. ( Yes there were saved passwords, but I have deleted them for testing, so ideally it should now ask me for a password every time. ) the ldap log gives me these two lines: === 2015-03-08 06:47:59.638217 UTC - -809519232[7f14ce817580]: unbinding 2015-03-08 06:47:59.638287 UTC - -809519232[7f14ce817580]: unbound === ( I set NSPR_LOG_MODULES="ldap:5,timestamp" , and then after an attempt to get an offline copy of an address book I get no password prompt with "Replication failed" in the GUI and these two lines in the log: === 2015-03-08 06:47:59.638217 UTC - -809519232[7f14ce817580]: unbinding 2015-03-08 06:47:59.638287 UTC - -809519232[7f14ce817580]: unbound === If I'm trying to look up a name on any ldap server ( yes we have several ), I get "no matches found" and no messages in the log entirely. Needless to say, the ldapsearch utility works fine. ) Expected results: Do we have ( bug #833971 ) been fixed too well ? -- the log should be much more informative, logging all operations at levels 4 and 5, and at least the errors at level 2 ; -- but most importantly, there should be a password prompt as it was before.

Q, Are you also seeing this in version 45?
