I'm not particularly happy about the u'\xdf' special case. Isn't
there a
better way to do this check?
I cant find better way. u'\xdf' is mapped to ss, and ss is not IDN
string.

Or just remove this validation.

(BTW I really think this should be a warning, not an error, but that
would require larger amount of work, so I guess it's OK for now.)
(More pain than gain)
Main thing in this patch is that the check should not be done against
non-IDN strings. I want this version of the patch to go in for that
reason as currently you cannot even complete ipa-adtrust-install
run due
to IDN normalisation check being applied to non-IDN domains.

On non-IDN domains, the only effect of IDN normalization is that it
lower-cases the names (right?), so the check should compare
lower-cased original name with the normalized name, instead of
special-casing certain characters etc.
.. what's the reason to do such comparison then? lower-cased non-IDN
name will be equal to lower-cased normalized non-IDN name by definition,
so the check is not needed in this case, at all.

The point is that it works for both IDN and non-IDN, without
u'\xdf'-style hacks.
No, your proposal of comparing low-cased value and normalized value is
not going to work because low-cased value is in general not equal to
normalized value for IDN names, only for non-IDN ones, due to the fact
that lower case for non-ASCII Unicode character may map to a completely
different character than in normalization situation. Take, for example,
Turkish alphabet where there are six letters with different case rules
(uppercase dotted i, dottless lowercase i, upper- and lowercase G with
breve accent, and upper- and lowercase S with cedilla), which will break
your generalized check.
So you'll anyway will need to split these cases.


I see.

I'm still not comfortable with carrying the bit of knowledge about u'\xdf' in
this particular spot. Can we check that a name is IDN some other way than
"domain_name.is_idn() or u'\xdf' in value"?

Why can't we simply fix string constants in ipa-adtrust-install and avoid adding hacks for it?
