php5-mcrypt problem

[Patrick Hetu]

ldap-account-manager 1.3.0-1 produces warning after the update of php5-mcrypt package to the version 5.1.2-1ubuntu1:
"""
PHP Warning: mcrypt_decrypt() [function.mcrypt-decrypt]: The IV parameter must be as long as the blocksize in /usr/share/ldap-account-manager/lib/ldap.inc on line 378
"""

php5 version: 5.2.3-1ubuntu1

This does indeed appear to be a problem, and I too can confirm it's existence. Set as confirmed.

Same here.

I've done a little bit of poking around in the *.inc files. The error seems to have something to do with the $iv variable in the client-side cookie.

I note that I am also running phpmyadmin and phpldapadmin, and neither of them are having the problem. In both cases, cookie authentication using mcrypt is explicitly configured, but I can't find anyplace in ldap-account-manager that configures the authentication regime.

I've reported the bug upstream:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=537211&aid=1742543&group_id=73243

There's a question waiting for feedback:
"""
Did the error disappear after you log in to LAM again?
This problem usually happens if MCrypt is activated while you are
currently using LAM.
"""

Because I have not experienced the problem myself (I'm not using ldap-account-manager), please provide feedback there to fix this issue.

There was no feedback to my questions and the upstream bug report
already expired.

I suggest to close this bug.

Closing as "Fix released", according to upstream bug report (where it is considered to be fixed in the VCS)
