Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-269:
-------------------------------------------
I made some test with en BEA embedded LDAP, it seems it isn't fufill the LDAP
specs ;-)
When browsing in Studio we are requesting the following attributes: "*
objectClass" or "* +"
According to RFC 4511 section 4.5.1.8. these are correct request:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. A list containing "*" (with zero or more attribute
descriptions) requests the return of all user attributes in
addition to other listed (operational) attributes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However the BEA embedded LDAP only returns all attributes if only "*" is
requested.
If "* objectClass" is requested it doesn't note the "*" but only "objectClass".
We could optimize that request, it is enought to just ask for "*".
The other request "* +" is used to retrieve user attributes as well as
operational attributes if the option "Show operational attributes" is enabled.
We could also optimize that request, we should only send the "+" if the server
supports this feature (supportedFeatures=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.5.1).

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-269
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-269
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: studio-ldapbrowser
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Environment: BEA Weblogic 8.1 embedded LDAP
> Reporter: Nicholas Makin
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> The LDAP browser will not display attributes for anything but the root DSE.
> Searches can still be made using known attributes. If new attributes are
> added to an entry they are viable until entry is refreshed. Other
> applications do not show similar difficulty in browsing ldap. Occurs on
> multiple platforms (Unix/Linux/Windows) with LDAP at various stages of
> maturity.
