Description

« Hide

While comparing two DNs, the AttributeType of each RDN must be compared in a case-insensitive way : RFC 2251, chap. 4.1.4, par.4.

It could be tricky to perform a valid comparison :

A=V1+B=V2,C=GB and A=V1+b=V2,C=GB are equals in regards with the RFC,
A=V1+B=V2,C=GB and A=V1+C=V2,C=GB are differents in regards with the RFC.

LdapName.compareTo function does not return a valid result :

        Name n1 = new DnParser().parse("A=V");
        Name n2 = new DnParser().parse("a=V");

        int val = n1.compareTo(n2); // val = 0xffffffe0 instead of 0
