Replace the unsupported SearchResult metadata access.
github.com/go-ldap/ldap/v3 v3.4.13 and v3.4.14 define SearchResult with only Entries, Referrals, and Controls. The accesses to ResultCode and DiagnosticMessage in search_result.go, query.go, and user.go, plus the matching test literals, therefore fail to compile. Use a metadata path supported by go-ldap; updating the dependency alone does not fix this.

Problem
When Red Hat IPA is reinitializing (e.g. during replica sync), it returns LDAP search responses with
resultCode=0(success), zero user entries, and adiagnosticMessageindicating its state. Usernaut's LDAP client previously treated any successful search with zero entries as "users not found", which led to false-positive offboarding — active users were incorrectly removed from backends because the directory appeared empty.Fix
After every
conn.Search()call, check whether the response has zero entries and a non-empty diagnostic message. If both conditions are true, returnErrLDAPUntrustworthyResultinstead of treating the result as a normal empty response. This prevents the controller from proceeding with offboarding when the directory is not in a reliable state.The check is applied in three places:
executeSearch— used byGetUserLDAPDataandGetUserLDAPDataByEmailGetBulkUserLDAPData— batch user lookup during group reconciliationGetQueryMembers— LDAP query-based group membershipWhen entries are returned (even with a diagnostic message), the search is treated as valid.
Dependency
This PR depends on a change to
go-ldap/ldapthat exposesResultCodeandDiagnosticMessageon theSearchResultstruct (upstream currently discards the diagnostic message whenresultCode=0).Upstream PR: go-ldap/ldap#626
Once the upstream change is merged and released, we will update
go.modto the new version. Until then, this PR will not compile against the currentgo-ldap v3.4.13.
