Unable to access remote registry

[Pavithra Hanchagaiah]

One more observation in the registry component:
Tested on : samba-4.0.0alpha1

Registry component doesn't return the type value of Registry item
queried from remote registry

With Reference to the already logged in bug 4395
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4395) Bug Case2, I see that
no type value is returned when the value is queried from Registry.

Reference: rpc_get_value_by_index() in rpc.c  
---------------------------------------------------------
 if(NT_STATUS_IS_OK(status) &&
       W_ERROR_IS_OK(r.out.result) && r.out.length) {
        *value_name = talloc_strdup(mem_ctx, r.out.name->name);
        *data = data_blob_talloc(mem_ctx, r.out.value, *r.out.length);
        return WERR_OK;
    }  
---------------------------------------------------------

Where the '*data' is of type DATA_BLOB & the its structure is,
---------------------------------------------------------
/* used to hold an arbitrary blob of data */
typedef struct datablob {
	uint8_t *data;
	size_t length;
} DATA_BLOB;
---------------------------------------------------------

I was trying to write an interface code to integrate Samba code to my
modules. So I came across the requirement to element to hold the
registry type of the queried value.

Thanks for your help!!

This was a bug in the RPC registry backend. It should now be fixed in
Subversion.
