[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-696?page=comments#action_12429551 ] Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-696: ---------------------------------------------
This is really strange. creating an entry like : dn: ou="Scissors 8<",dc=example,dc=com ou: "Scissors 8<" objectclass: organizationalUnit objectclass: top should throw an exception. The DN should only contains values that are declared as attributes. ou="Scissors 8<" attribute is not the same as ou=Scissors 8<. In DN, the ou="Scissors 8<" RDN correspond to the attribute type and value : ou = Scissors 8< where the " are removed. if you don't create the very same attribute, then you will get an error. It's weird that IBM and Sun create this attribute (tgis is the reason why we can see both values in the SUN and IBM results when you do a search. Can we have more info on the real problem in VSLDAP with this escaped values ? > Adding entries with RDNs enclosed in quotes may lead to entries with illegal > DNs > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRSERVER-696 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-696 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > 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 > Assigned To: Emmanuel Lecharny > Attachments: quotesEntries.ldif > > > 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).
