[jira] Closed: (DIRSERVER-1395) '=' is being escaped properly in RDN values

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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1395?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Emmanuel Lecharny closed DIRSERVER-1395.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

I confirm that '=' is not to be escaped in a RDN, at meast, it's not mandatory. RFC 4514, appendix B states so :

      - Updated Section 2.4. Indicated that equals sign ('=' U+003D) character may
        be escaped as '\='.

      - Updated the Section 3 ABNF.  Changes include:
        + did not require escaping of equals sign ('=' U+003D)
          characters,

> A colleague of mine discovered that due to a mistake in a boolean array (AttributeTypeAndValue.DN_ESCAPED_CHARS) the '=' character is not escaped during RDN normalization when it appears in a RDN value. This may be due to http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2253.html seemingly leaving it in "2.4.  Converting an AttributeValue from ASN.1 to a String" but then including it in the "special  = " BNF clause.
> The attached patch fixes the problem, adds a new testcase covering it and fixes a few other testcases which tested for the old (broken) behaviour.
