Ersin Er resolved DIRLDAP-62:
-----------------------------
Fix Version: 0.9.3
Resolution: Fixed
> [ACIITemParser] Position of terms in optional ASN.1 elements should not matter
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRLDAP-62
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRLDAP-62
> Project: Directory LDAP
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Common
> Reporter: Alex Karasulu
> Assignee: Ersin Er
> Fix For: 0.9.3
>
> The position of optional elements is relavent within the ACIItemParser. For
> example for ProtectedItems the position of optional elements are relevant so
> for example the following ACI whould bomb out:
> "{ " +
> "identificationTag \"searchAci\", " +
> "precedence 14, " +
> "authenticationLevel none, " +
> "itemOrUserFirst userFirst: { " +
> "userClasses { allUsers }, " +
> "userPermissions { { " +
> "protectedItems {allUserAttributeTypesAndValues, entry }, " +
> "grantsAndDenials { grantRead, grantReturnDN, grantBrowse } }
> } } }"
> This however would succeed:
> "{ " +
> "identificationTag \"searchAci\", " +
> "precedence 14, " +
> "authenticationLevel none, " +
> "itemOrUserFirst userFirst: { " +
> "userClasses { allUsers }, " +
> "userPermissions { { " +
> "protectedItems {entry, allUserAttributeTypesAndValues }, " +
> "grantsAndDenials { grantRead, grantReturnDN, grantBrowse } }
> } } }"
> The same holds for other constructs where a sequence of optional elements are
> expected. However this is a big problem. The user specifying the ACI must
> know what comes first, what comes second and so on in the ASN.1 description.
> This is just too strict of a constraint to place on users and will degrade
> the ease of use.
> Really because we have names for each field order does not need to matter
> anymore.
> I marked this as an improvement as opposed to a bug because the ASN.1 to ABNF
> translation was correct. It just is not the best thing to do.
