--------------------------------------
Summary: Special characters are dropped when generating the LDAP
the user and role filters
Key: KARAF-2476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2476
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jonathan Anstey
The current code - org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.ldap.LDAPLoginModule - forms
the userFilter and roleFilter:
logger.debug("Looking for the user in LDAP with ");
logger.debug(" base DN: " + userBaseDN);
userFilter = userFilter.replaceAll("%u", user);
logger.debug("Looking for the user roles in LDAP with ");
logger.debug(" base DN: " + roleBaseDN);
roleFilter = roleFilter.replaceAll("%u", user);
roleFilter = roleFilter.replaceAll("%dn", userDN);
the "replaceAll" method is a regular expression replacement that interprets
special characters. LDAP user names and DN can contain special characters and
we do not want to process them. The filters should be formed as "quotes" -
uninterpreted strings.
