Alex,
the Apache Directory Studio schema editor reexports 'versionNumber ' as
dmVyc2lvbk51bWJlciA= in LDIF. I read that there is a convention that
strings with trailing spaces have to be encoded in LDIF. This LDIF has
been imported into Apache DS 1.5.7 and the server was able to restart.
So the persistent storage of this value might have been done incorrectly
by Apache DS trunk.
Regards,
Antoine

This might be due to the attribute value being binary rather than
there being an extra trailing space. Lookie here:

I had one attribute type with a trailing space in the description
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.8104.1.1.37 NAME 'versionNumber' DESC
'versionNumber ' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR
caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
SINGLE-VALUE)
using directory 1.5.7 this translates in the following ldif :
m-description:: dmVyc2lvbk51bWJlciA=
Note the description field is being used as a binary attribute and
this is probably why the error occurred on startup. Something is
translating the description field into a binary value instead of a
directory string if that space is present from the LDAP representation
==> ApacheDS LDIF format.
Sorry would have put this in JIRA but my damn password is not working
... have to reset.
