Currently, if the OID is not found, then we consider that the DN is
incorrect, and we throw an error. This is done during the DN
normalization. Is that the correct behavior ? (Assuming that we handle
correctly the referrals and extensible ObjectClass... To be double
checked ! Did I forgot any other case ?)
I think that covers it for DN parsing. Attribute normalization is also
needed for filter evaluation, and in that case, servers are supposed
to silently ignore invalid/unrecognized filter terms.
Filter is parsed in another part of the code. I _think_ we follow the
rules about ignoring unknown terms.
I will check the cases where an element of a DN is not known by the
server, because we are using a referral or an extensible OC. Thanks for
mentioning it, Howard !
