> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Sun ONE Directory SDK for Java 4.1

> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
> Microsoft Windows XP version 5.1 Service Pack 1

>
> If one tries to add an attribute to an entry, and does not provide a value,
> it is assumed that the server does not modify the entry. We have a situation
> here using Sun ONE Directory SDK for Java (or Netscape, now Mozilla SDK,
> http://www.mozilla.org/directory/), where adding a description attribute
> without value to a person entry like this
> dn: cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com
> objectclass: person
> objectclass: top
> sn: Bush
> cn: Kate Bush
> does not fail (modify call does not result in an exception). Instead, a
> description attribute is created within the entry. At least the new attribute
> is readable with Netscape SDK (it is not visible to most UIs, because it is
> invalid ...).
> Attached you find a test case which demonstrates the problem. It passes with
> Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2, for instance. Unfortunately, I was not
> able to create this situation with JNDI, because its LDAP Provider does not
> allow this (illegal) operation -- it throws an exception on the client side
> and does not seem to call the server at all.
