Novell LDAP v3

symptom
NDS error: insufficient buffer (-649)
Console One ICE and command line ICE returns -649 error: insufficient buffer
Error received when LDAP filters are put on in DSTrace:
Sending operation result 80:"":"NDS error: insufficient buffer (-649)" to connection 0xca41f400
cause
eDirectory is architected around certain buffer limitations that are common to all versions.
One such limitation is the 64K limit on elements of an entire search request.
About 80 bytes are reserved for various control elements, and much of the rest is available for the optional attribute and filter lists.
Thus, both lists of attributes and filters, as well as some other packet formatting, compete for the remaining space in the 64K limit.
Because of other variables in NCP packet formatting, eDir engineering generally rounds this available buffer size to about 63K when noting the limitation.
fix
At this point, the only work around is to reduce the amount of data that is put in the filter.
note
Example of an LDAP application using a large filter causing the error (The same error can be received if this info was put in an LDIF file and inported using ICE):
DoSearch on connection 0xca479d00
