New issue 30 by jmart...@ies1libertas.es: error when ldap_bind_password is
numeric
http://code.google.com/p/nsscache/issues/detail?id=30

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. A properly configured /etc/nsscache.conf with ldap_bind_password
= "12345" in it
2. # nsscache update

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected normal behavior. Got this error instead:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

mint 15 xfce (olivia), nsscache 0.21.19-1 installed via apt-get from ubuntu
repos.

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems FixValue is applied on the ldap_bind_password config option, which
turns it into an integer, which is then rejected by simple_bind_s at
ldapsource.py.

Suggested patch/workaround attached, casts configuration['bind_password']
to a string before passing on to simple_bind_s.
