[jira] Resolved: (DIRSERVER-625) Adding an entry with an equals sign ('=') in RDN value causes protocol error

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-625?page=all ]
     
Emmanuel Lecharny resolved DIRSERVER-625:
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

'=' sign is not allowed in a DN value, except if escaped, has stated by RFC 2253 :

...
special    = "," / "=" / "+" / "<" /  ">" / "#" / ";"
pair       = "\" ( special / "\" / QUOTATION / hexpair )
...

>          Key: DIRSERVER-625
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-625
>      Project: Directory ApacheDS
>         Type: Bug

>     Versions: 1.0-RC3
>  Environment: Server: ApacheDS 1.0-RC3 (Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0_04)
>     Reporter: Stefan Zoerner

>
> Adding the following entry to the ApacheDS server (default configuration, i.e. server.xml unchanged) causes a protocol error:
> dn: ou=nomen=omen,dc=example,dc=com
> objectclass: top
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> ou: nomen=omen
> The '='-sign is probably the cause of the problem. 
> I used both Softerra LDAP Administrator and ldapadd (from Sun Java system Directory Server) to add a file with the above content. Both attempts failed, and the client connection was closed with a protocol error. ApacheDS was still up and working afterwards (it still accepted client connections and served requests).
> Note that I was able to import the file with the relevant entry in other servers, i.e. Sun Java System Directory Server.
