[jira] Resolved: (DIRSERVER-1385) Filter expression 'abc\' sended from Outlook parsed as null.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1385?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Emmanuel Lecharny resolved DIRSERVER-1385.
------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Definitively a bug in Outlook. RFC 4515 states that the filter grammar does not allow a \ in a filter :

filter         ::= '(' filtercomp ')'
filtercomp     ::= and / or / not / item
item           ::= simple / present / substring / extensible
simple         ::= attr filtertype assertionvalue
assertionvalue ::= valueencoding
valueencoding  ::= 0*(normal / escaped)
normal         ::= UTF1SUBSET / UTFMB
escaped        ::= ESC HEX HEX
UTF1SUBSET     ::= %x01-27 / %x2B-5B / %x5D-7F
                          ; UTF1SUBSET excludes 0x00 (NUL), '(',
                          ; ')', '*', and '\'

In fact, I was slightly wrong in my previous comment. The filter should have been :
(cn="abc\5C")

as described in the RFC samples :
        (filename=C:\5cMyFile)

Not sure why there are " around the values, btw... Probably that Outlook expect the server will consider the inner '\' as a normal character ?

M$ should consider reading carefully the RFCs before implementing some of them ...
