Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1183:
----------------------------------------------
I will check the code, the RFCs and ee if we can safely support RFC 2253 syntax.
More to come later.
> searching with quoted attribute values in a DN causes either noSuchObject or
> invalidDNSyntax

> Key: DIRSERVER-1183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1183
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ldap
> Environment: Windows XP SP2, cygwin, ldapsearch 2.3.39, ADS trunk
> Reporter: Matt Parker
>
> searching with a base DN that has quoted values results in noSuchObject. for
> example:
> ldapsearch -b 'cn=foo' ...
> works, but:
> ldapsearch -b 'cn="foo"' ...
> causes noSuchObject. Further, if there is an escaped value inside the quotes,
> invalidDNSyntax occurs:
> ldapsearch -b 'cn=Parker\, Matt' ...
> works, but:
> ldapsearch -b 'cn="Parker\, Matt"' ...
> causes invalidDNSyntax.
> RFC 2253 section 4 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2253#section-4) clearly
> states that this is legal, but is obsoleted by 4514, which isn't as clear (at
> least to me). Although since most clients that are in use were probably at
> least written against 2253, it makes sense to continue to support quoted
> values for maximum compatibility, even if it's optional.
