Hi,
after having thought about the OS filesystem name limitations (forbidden
chars, case sensitivity, length), here is what I propose for the file
names on a ldif partition :
- a file/directory name will be composed by the AT short name (or the
oid if the AT does not have a short name) in lowercase, followed by the
'=' sign, and the normalized value, ad ".ldif" as a suffix
- if we have special characters in the normalized value (like '/', '<',
'>', '?', ':', '|', '&', '"', ' ', '*', they will be escaped using '\'
- the normalized value will be lowercased
- we don't handle file names longer than 255 characters
- we don't handle case sensitive normalized values (ou=test.ldif and
ou=TEST.ldif won't exist on the same directory)
- if an entry has a child at least, a directory will be created, without
the .ldif extension
thoughts ?
