---------------------------------------------

Thanks Stefan,

I had time tonite in front of a beer to think again to those issues (this one 
and DIRSERVER-631). I really think that the LdapDN parser need some improvment. 
Right now, it's a pile of two versions, and of course it's now really 
intricated and complicated. Further more, it does not deal with all the cases.

I have drafted a new version on paper, which is :
- simpler
- better
- and likely faster

I hope I will be able to implement it when I will be back, at the end of next 
week.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0-RC4
>         Environment:     *  ApacheDS 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT
>     * Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
>     * Windows XP Professional SP2
>            Reporter: Stefan Zoerner

> Using ApacheDS 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT with server.xml unchanged.
> If I try to add something like this
> dn: ou="Scissors 8<",dc=example,dc=com
> ou: "Scissors 8<"
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> objectclass: top
> an entry is created like that (quotes missing)
> dn: ou=Scissors 8<,dc=example,dc=com
> ou: Scissors 8<
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> objectclass: top
> This causes a lot of trouble in some tools I use (LDAP Administrator, for 
> instance). I checked the behaviour of IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 and Sun 
> Java System Directory Server 5.2. They behave different, but both create 
> entries with valid DNs:
> Sun:
> dn: ou="Scissors 8<",dc=example,dc=com
> ou: "Scissors 8<"
> ou: Scissors 8<
> objectClass: organizationalUnit
> objectClass: top
> IBM:
> dn: ou=Scissors 8\<,dc=example,dc=com
> ou: "Scissors 8<"
> ou: Scissors 8<
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> objectclass: top
> I add an LDIF file with this entry and comparable entries, which cause the 
> same error.
