Summary0035070: Unable to retrieve values of arbitrary fields from LDAP.
Description

The ldap_get_field_from_username() function can no longer return field values other than $g_ldap_email_field and $g_ldap_realname_field, due to the use of only cached data in the ldap_cache_user_data() function. This prevents any code and plugins that use ldap_get_field_from_username() from working. For example MantisLdapAvatar.

Additional Information

About commit MantisBT master 353cbd70

Note: ldap_search() fails if keys are missing in the attributes list,
so we need to call array_values() after array_unique().

I was surprised by this. Not knowing whether this is a bug or intended behavior with unclear documentation, I opened https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/17280 just in case.

TagsNo tags attached.

It is in the core/ldap_api.php.

When you say "can no longer", what is your reference point ?
Just checking, because the caching was introduced over 4 years ago in 2.23.1 (see 0026600, 0026622) so it's nothing new.

Yeah, it's pretty strange that no one has complained about LDAP connection loss... I'd like to update the MantisLdapAvatar plugin (last update was 7 years ago) and this PR will allow to extend the LDAP functionality in a MantisBT event-orient way.

The problem with ldap_search() failing when $attributes has holes (https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/17280), was qualified as a bug and fixed in 8.4 + backport to 8.3.

Details Diff		 Ensure requested extra LDAP attributes are unique

Even if multiple plugins require the same attribute, it should only be
retrieved once.

Note: ldap_search() fails if keys are missing in the attributes list,
so we need to call array_values() after array_unique().
