removing unrequired escaping in DNs / filters
---------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1247
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1247
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ldap
Affects Versions: 1.5.4
Reporter: Norval Hope
The current Dn and filter handling is overly restrictive in that all non-ascii
characters are quoted using the \NN syntax. This is probably due to rfc 2253
being unclear about the fact that multibyte UTF-8 encoded values can be used,
but this iss further clarified in rfc 4514 which superceeds 2253. The
application of unrequired quoting makes debugging / reading logs much harder
then it should be, as it requires manual calculations rather then just setting
the file encoding on your log file / IDE windows to being UTF-8.
I have attached a patch file with the required updates to code and unit tests
under /shared/ldap (some problems i had noted with earlier AD version due to
unspecified encoding when converting bytes to / from Strings had already been
tidied up in AD 1.5.4).
