This error is sometimes seen when reading AD or Ex5.5. UnitySync's Discovery encounters an error while decoding the LDAP response received from the server.This results in truncated data in the Discovery phase.

Most often this problem can be resolved by reducing the Paging Support size.  To do this:

 

Create a custom sourcedef and add the following parameter:

 

paging-support=100

 

Click Save.

Click Apply.

Try the Discovery again.

 

Example log output:

 

Search Structure Return | 84 - Protocol Error
Failed Structure | CN=SubOU,ou=Parent,dc=domain,dc=com

 

Error Summary :
LDAP_DECODING_ERROR (84) - Net::LDAP> encountered an error |        1
while decoding a response packet from the server.                               |

 

The Discovery or Sync phase will ABORT if an Error 84 is detected.
