[nssldap] 8 principal limitation in nssldap

[rammie2 <srivatsav.mudumba [at] gmail.com>]

Hi,

We are using nss_ldap for authenticating users registered in a LDAP server
(Open LDAP, Active Directory). After adding 8 principals (/etc/ldap.conf),
none of the users registered in the /etc/ldap.conf file are able to login. 

nss_base_passwd
OU=engg,DC=mycompany,DC=region,DC=someplace,DC=myarea,DC=compname,DC=parentcompname
nss_base_shadow
OU=engg,DC=mycompany,DC=region,DC=someplace,DC=myarea,DC=compname,DC=parentcompname
nss_base_group
OU=engg,DC=mycompany,DC=region,DC=someplace,DC=myarea,DC=compname,DC=parentcompname


Can you please share the reason for this 7 limitation in the nss_ldap
library. or how I can fix this issue. I am looking for the header file in
the source files whhich has this constant or limitation defined.

 Tried googling, but it appears that no one has encountered this issue. Some
customers of our product are running into this issue and it has become a
severity 1 issue to fix. Appreciate any help on this

Thanks
Ramakanth
