searching with quoted attribute values in a DN causes either noSuchObject or
invalidDNSyntax
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1183
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ldap
Environment: Windows XP SP2, cygwin, ldapsearch 2.3.39, ADS trunk
Reporter: Matt Parker
searching with a base DN that has quoted values results in noSuchObject. for
example:
ldapsearch -b 'cn=foo' ...
works, but:
ldapsearch -b 'cn="foo"' ...
causes noSuchObject. Further, if there is an escaped value inside the quotes,
invalidDNSyntax occurs:
ldapsearch -b 'cn=Parker\, Matt' ...
works, but:
ldapsearch -b 'cn="Parker\, Matt"' ...
causes invalidDNSyntax.
RFC 2253 section 4 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2253#section-4) clearly
states that this is legal, but is obsoleted by 4514, which isn't as clear (at
least to me). Although since most clients that are in use were probably at
least written against 2253, it makes sense to continue to support quoted values
for maximum compatibility, even if it's optional.
