    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Major
    • VOMS MySQL plugin v. 3.1.7
    • Affects Version/s: None

      VOMS MySQL plugin uses a signed long int for querying the user id, and return it to VOMS server, but an int should be used instead, as the MYSQL_LONG_TYPE is 4 bytes long.

      The main consequence of this is that in the VOMS server log UID is logged using the wrong format:

      LOG_INFO:REQUEST:makeAC (vomsd.cc:935):Userid = "-4294967169""

      Probably the mistake in the type selection was caused by the misleading type name, see:
