ber_read_OID_String patch

[Stefan (metze) Metzmacher]

Hi Kamen,
> Please see the attached log file - it is produced by extending the DSSYNC test

> branch tomorrow so you could play with it if you wish to). 
> Last of the log file represents following information for every Object in the 
> replica received (by replica I mean data we receive by calling GetNCChanges()):
>   attribute OID decoded by implementation described in MS-DRSR documentation
>   map_idx - PrefixMap entry index that matches this attribute
>   attid   - ATTRTYP of the attribute as received from w2k3
>   ldap_name - Attribute name that corresponds to decoded OID
>   idl_name  - corresponding value in drsuapi_DsAttributeId enumeration (from IDL)
> 
> Look at line 1680 - it's an Exchange attribute value being replicated.
>   OID: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102.50050
>   ldap_name: msExchPoliciesIncluded
> Now, in our (Samba4) implementation, this attribute shall be encoded in following way:
>   PrefixMap entry oid: [1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102]
>   last subidentifier: 50050
> During marshaling (in hex):
>   PrefixMap entry bin-oid: 2A864886F7140104B65866
>   ATTRTYP (lo-word): C382
> 
> I think at this point the differences with what w2k3 sends us is obvious.
> For this particular attribute w2k3 sends (in hex):

> Using my patch for ber_read_OID_String() is bad idea as it would lead to:
>   PrefixMap entry bin-oid: 2A864886F7140104B6586683 -> 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102.3
>   ATTRTYP (lo-word): 0x8382 -> 33666
>   Resulting attribute OID: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102.3.33666
> There is no such attribute in my schema and the replication will fail.

Yes, I finally got it:-)
Thanks for the detailed example.
