error on creating new entry

[chri2]

Describe the bug

When creating a new entry phpldapadmin shows an error.

Unrecognized error number: 8192: preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated

Might be associated to this issue: leenooks/phpLDAPadmin#237

Context

• Hardware: Virtualbox VM
• YunoHost version: 11.2.5
• I have access to my server: all
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: yes
  • If yes, please explain: Testing environment, slapd tweaked to allow full access
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: phpLDAPadmin 1.2.6.6~ynh4

Steps to reproduce

• adapt the slapd configuration to give write permission to a user able to login
• add an entry - in my case

objectClass: inetOrgPerson, mailAccount, userPermissionYnh
ou=alias
rdn=cn

Expected behavior

show the confirmation page after hitting the "create object" button

It's indeed most likely an upstream issue.

I guess you can apply the other user's bugfix manually.

Works like this:

< 		# If the password is already encoded, then we'll return
< 		if (preg_match('/^\{.+\}.+/',$attribute->getValue($i)))
< 			return;
< 
< 		$attribute->setPostValue(array('function'=>'PasswordEncrypt','args'=>sprintf('%%enc%%;%%%s%%',$attribute->getName())));
< 		$this->get('Post',$attribute,$i);
