Re: ASN1 - syncInfoValue

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

I not familiar with net::ldap debugging statements to know
what's really happen underneath.  Suggest you provide a
hex dump of the whole PDU.  Off hand, it looks like the
ending SET OF syncUUID is missing, possibly an empty set
(31 00).
