Description

« Hide

If you try to add an attribute value which is already present within the entry, no error occurs.
After the execution of the modify operation, the value appears twice in the entry instead.

As a consequence, it is possible for instance to create an entry like this:

---

dn: cn=Stefan Zoerner,ou=users,ou=system
sn: Zoerner
objectClass: top
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
cn: Stefan Zoerner

---

Expected behavior is error code 20, which indicates that the attribute value specified in a modify or add operation already exists as a value for that attribute.
I will add a test case as usual which demonstrates the bug with a person entry.

Here is a test case, which demonstrates the error with the description attribute of a person entry. But the bug occurs with other attributes, even objectClass as well. The critical method is testAddExistingAttributeValue, which fails.

I have rebuilded the server, and tested the behavior programmatically (test cases) and with a GUI client. The described error does not occur any more, therefore I close the issue.
