Can't locate object method "as_string" via package after upgrading to 4.4.6

Hi there,

after upgrading from RT 4.4.3 to 4.4.6 the REST API didn’t work anymore with that backtrace:

Can't locate object method "as_string" via package "(&(objectClass=posixAccount))" (perhaps you forgot to load "(&(objectClass=posixAccount))"?) at /usr/share/request-tracker4/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth/LDAP.pm line 606.
                               
                               Stack:

Looking at the code it seems to me like the ->as_string shouldn’t be there since $filter is already a string. I removed it in my RT installation and that seems to have fixed it for me. Wondering if this a bug or I’m doing something else wrong.

Hey,

This bug appears to have been fixed in Fix LDAP filter string debug output · bestpractical/rt@e271ef7 · GitHub .
