Unable to enter Base DN ending in 'dc='
---------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-161
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-161
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Bug
Components: studio-browser
Affects Versions: 0.8.1
Environment: LDAP Studio 0.8.1 on Windows XP MCE 2005
Reporter: Andy Deckowitz
I'm trying to establish a Connection to an iPlanet LDAP server. The Base DN
for this server is of the form 'dc=smtp,dc=company,dc=com,dc=' - note the
trailing 'dc='. This Base DN is valid and mandatory - access to this server
won't work without it.
If I attempt the 'Fetch Base DNs' function, I get a
java.lang.NullPointerException error while fetching the Base DN.
If I leave 'Get base DNs from Root DSE' set, the Connection fails to open with
an error of "Empty Value is not allowed! Can't set Base DN entry'.
If I attempt to type in the actual Base DN, I get a popup that states 'Please
enter a valid Base DN'.
If I attempt any other value for Base DN, the connection fails with a LDAP
error 32 - No Such Object.
I am able to browse the server with the Novell ldapsearch and the LDAP
Browser/Editor v2.8.2, but not with an OpenLDAP ldapsearch 2.3.30, if that
helps anything.
I don't know if relaxing the Base DN validation rule on the Connection form is
enough to fix my issue as I see no way to test that scenario. Hand-editing the
connections.xml (putting in a fake final dc=blah and then deleting the blah
value from the file) does not seem to have done the trick.
