[jira] Resolved: (DIREVE-284) Simple bind fails for entries with certain partition suffix names

Alex Karasulu resolved DIREVE-284:
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Committed fix changes on revision 328236 here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=328236&view=rev

Looks like lookups were being made against a bare nexus without normalizing the principals name.  I started using the present operation's proxy object with bypasses where normalization was still allowed.  

Added test case in MiscTest for Stefan's Kate Bush user.

> Some users (i.e. person entries with userPassword attribute) can't authenticate to the server via simple bind. The problem does not exist with entries located in ou=system or dc=apache,dc=org. To give an example:
> I used the default server.xml from
> http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/apacheds/trunk/main/server.xml
> to start the server and added the following entry:
> dn: cn=Kate Bush,dc=apache,dc=org
> cn: Kate Bush
> objectclass: top
> objectclass: person
> sn: Bush
> userPassword: Aerial
> After that, the following works as expected:
> $ ldapsearch -h magritte -p 10389 -D "cn=Kate Bush,dc=apache,dc=org" -w Aerial -b "dc=apache,dc=org" "(sn=Bush)" cn
> cn=Kate Bush,dc=apache,dc=org
> cn=Kate Bush
> $
> and providing a wrong password leads to an "invalid credentials". 
> But if I use "dc=aPache,dc=org" as suffix within the partition configuration, i.e.
> <property name="suffix"><value>dc=aPache,dc=org</value></property>
> adjust other occurrences of dc=apache as well and import the person entry above with DN "cn=Kate Bush,dc=aPache,dc=org", the following happens:
> $ ldapsearch -h magritte -p 10389 -D "cn=Kate Bush,dc=aPache,dc=org" -w Aerial -b "dc=aPache,dc=org" "(sn=Bush)" cn
> ldap_simple_bind: Invalid credentials
> $
> But this still works:
> $ ldapsearch -h magritte -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w secret -b "dc=aPache,dc=org" "(sn=Bush)"
> cn=Kate Bush,dc=aPache,dc=org
> sn=Bush
> cn=Kate Bush
> objectclass=person
> objectclass=top
> userPassword=Aerial
> $
> I have the same problem with suffix "o=sevenSeas" (actually it was the first occurrence I found), and the defect disappears with "o=sevenseas". 
> I therefore assume that the authenticator used for simple binds has problems with the mixed characters in the suffices.
