IO17512: Paged search of root DSE does not close paging control

Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3.0.19-ISS-ITDS-IF0019
Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3.0.21-ISS-ITDS-IF0021
Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3.0.22-ISS-ITDS-IF0022

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A paged search of the root DSE leaves the paging control open on
  the connection. If a second paged search requested on the same
  connection, it may fail with LDAP error 53 (DSA is unwilling to
  perform).
  

Local fix

• Don't do that. The paging control limits the number of entries
  returned per page. A root DSE search always returns a single
  entry, and so cannot be paged.
  
  Closing the connection will close the associated page control.
  

Problem summary

• The root DSE search is a special case which is not handled the
  same as a general-purpose search. It was missing the code to
  close the paging control after sending the final (only) entry,
  leaving an open paged search in progress on the connection after
  performing a paged root DSE search.
  
  The root DSE search has been fixed to close the page control if
  it is present.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR will be contained in the following
  maintenance packages:
