Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2458
Crash when trying to access LDAP Address book
Last modified: 2018-08-13 15:22:53 UTC
Sorry if this has come through to the wrong department ! Set up the "Data Sources" so that LDAP tab has entries for an M$ Exchange server. From the "Main Toolbar" select "Data Sources". A dialog appears asking for the Addresses password. Enter the password and press <RETURN> OO save sthe document and produces the "Something really horid has happened, but you'll probably be able to recover" dialog and dies ! No further information and no core dumps !
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're doing.
It appears that some of our internal documents attempt to access details from the Address book from the companies Exhange server. By setting up the LDAP connection to point at the Exchange server it should be possible to access this information. The Data Sources LDAP tab has an Addresses entry. I have told this to look at EXCHANGE1/Owen Savill/osavill which is the access string (according to IT support !). Now when OO comes accross one of these fields it prompts for a password. Alternatively go to the Data Source button in the Main Toolbar, press it and duble click on the LDPA branch. I enter the password and OO says Accessing the LDAP Directory. As soon as this dissappears OO wil produce the Unrecoverable Error dialog and shutsdown. Beyond this I can tell you no more !
Is that related to the current exchange problems we have, Frank?
Owen, we definately had problems with accessing MS Exchange server addresses. This problem is known, and it is not completely fixed. I don't know if your problem has the same reason (at the moment, I can't reproduce this, as I have no MS exchange server configured to act as LDAP server), but to me it sounds this way. We fixed some problems in the MSE area (there was also a GPF which is fixed), but the problem is not really solved yet. A solution is to be found/implemented in mozilla (actually, OOo uses mozilla components to provide the address book functionallity), and there it is still pending (but the people are aware of the problem: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111968). So all we can do at the moment is waiting for the mozilla people ... Frank
lost this from the radar a little bit ... Owen, do you have a chance to check this with the latest 643 build?
Owen? Any chance to check this in a recent build?
OOo 1.0.2 dies with the following output: /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.2/program/soffice.bin: relocation error: /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.2/program/libsvx641li.so: symbol _ZN13FmGridControl6commitEv, version UDK_3_0_0 not defined in file libcppuhelper3gcc3.so with link time reference
Owen, the "relocation error" is described in issue 11706. We'll have to look for this separately. Do you have a chance to verify this in the 644 build?
forced to set a target - as long is this is not reproducible, I'll use "Later"
As Frank says, this is said to be a glibc bug. See issue 10210 and issue 11706. What version of glibc are you using? Also, does running openoffice with the command env LD_BIND_NOW=yes ooffice help?
mass re-assign of address book integration bugs
responsibilities changed
change subcomponent to 'none'
Migrate to a new account for security reasons.
osavill, please give feedback whether this bug still happens for you. Else, we'll close the issue as INVALID.
Sorry about the delay, hadn't noticed you were trying to raise me. The situation is that I was made redundant from the company where I had noticed this problem. I no longer have access to an Exchange server, and even if I did I could not replicate the companies setup. So sadly I don't think I will be able to give any more help on this one. It does look like the actual crash was due to the "relocation" problems. As a feature integration with Exchange would definitely be a bonus. Are you still waiting on Mozilla ? The problems of accessing with the M$ proprietary username and password protocol have been addressed separately, can't remember who by now, but I used to use it after I had given up waiting for Mozilla ! This whole issue has turned into a gigantic flame war on the Mozilla Bugzilla site, last time I looked anyway. The Evolution guys solved this by going the HTTP route which is designed to be used for Exchange's web page interface.
As I now longer have access to an LDAP source and given its age the Issue report should probably be closed unless this is known to still ba a valid issue. Thanks.
I have seen that osavill has asked to close this issue in August. Would it be o.k. if it is closed now by the original reporter or someone else? Or does the problem also occur in newer versions of OOo? I also have no ldap environment here to test it ... :(

Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
AOO needs a new LDAP driver: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124987
