Problems with special chars (german Umlauts)
--------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-395
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-395
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Stefan Seelmann
Assignee: Stefan Seelmann
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.3.0
Reported by Christian Fiebig on the user mailing list, needs to be investigated:
Hi!
I'm testing ApacheDS 1.5.3 under Win2k3 at the moment (but also tried this
under XP and Vista 32bit). I also tried the Eclipse plugin and the standalone
version of Apache Studio.
My problem: some entries (sn, givenName and cn) contain special chars like "ü",
"ö".
For example:
I add an inetOrgPerson entry with the name "Wolfgang Kölbel" in Apache Studio:
dn:: Y249V29sZmd[...]jPWNvbQ==
changetype: add
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
sn:: S8O2bGJlbA==
cn:: V29sZmdhbmcgS8O2bGJlbA==
This works fine so far. The name is displayed correctly in Apache Studio and on
other clients.
BUT if i want to update oder modifiy this entry, i.e. add initials:
Error while creating value
[LDAP: error code 54 - failed to modify entry cn=Wolfgang
K\C3\B6lbel,ou=personen,dc=example,dc=com: Invalid value : Wolfgang Kö�l]
[LDAP: error code 54 - failed to modify entry cn=Wolfgang
K\C3\B6lbel,ou=personen,dc=example,dc=com: Invalid value : Wolfgang Kö�l]
The really strange thing about this is, that other entries work! If the guy's
name is "Hans Müller" it works without any problems. It SEEMS that the problem
occurs when a "b" comes after or near to the special char - but I'm really not
sure on that...
The second problem is (and I think it's related to the first one):
If I export my entries (containing the special chars) they look like this
(except the xxxxx - of course...):
dn: cn=Wolfgang K\C3\B6lbel,ou=personen,dc=xxxxxxxxxxxxx,dc=de
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: top
cn:: V29sZmdhbmcgS8O2bGJlbA==
employeeNumber: xxxxxxxx
givenName: Wolfgang
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mobile: +49xxxxxxxxxxxx
sn:: S8O2bGJlbA==
When I'm importing this back the special chars are not displayed correctly
anymore - "Kölbel" is now displayed as "K\C3\B6lbel" (like in the file) - only
the base64(?) encoded values are still ok.
So it seems that there is a problem with the encoding!? Is it expected that the
exported files are ANSI and not UTF-8 encoded? But if so - why it the DN not
encoded like the other attributes?
Any ideas? :-)
