-----------------------------------------
Summary: Why UTF-8 is escaped in DN strings since 2.0.0?
Key: DIRSTUDIO-963
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-963
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Question
Components: studio-ldifeditor
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M8 (2.0.0.v20130628)
Reporter: Dmitri Chubarov
I have a directory that includes many DNs containing UTF-8 characters. I expect
the characters to be displayed correctly in the LDAP browser tree. The server
claims to support LDAP v3.
Recently I installed Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M8 and realized that new
entries created with the Directory Studio have UTF-8 characters escaped when a
DN is created, e.g. "TESTСкаж...,dc=ru" is replaced with
"TEST\D0\A1\D0\BA\D0\B0\D0\B6...,dc=ru".
Since escaped secuences make the tree illegible in the LDAP Browser I had to
manualy rename new entries using ldapmodrdn utility from OpenLDAP distribution.
I have tested few prior versions of Apache Directory Studio. Here is a summary
of the results:
1.5.3 - entries created with UTF-8 characters in DN as expected.
2.0.0-M3 - the Directory fails to load with ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exceptions
2.0.0-M7, 2.0.0-M8 when DN is formed by the Directory Studio all UTF-8
characters are escaped.
Is this an expected behaviour or is this a regression? If this behaviour is
expected is there a way to get UTF-8 characters back into the DNs?
