Adding an entry with invalid attribute

• Key: DIRSERVER-329

Description

This is related to DIRLDAP-84. We had a discussion about it on the mailing list and I want to be sure it is filed in JIRA. Therefore I open a separate issue.

The following entry can be created (note that attribute "voice" does not exist in the schema).

dn: cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com
cn: Kate Bush
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
sn: Bush
voice: unbelievable

The following operation does neither throw an error nor an exception on
server side

$ ldapadd -p 10389 -D uid=admin,ou=system -w ***** -f addKate.ldif
adding new entry cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com

But searching Kate causes exceptions on the server (not visible to the
client) like

javax.naming.NamingException: OID for name 'voice' was not found within the
OID
registry

org.apache.ldap.server.schema.GlobalOidRegistry.getOid(GlobalOidRegistry.java:176)

and it is not possible to change the entry afterwards (DIRLDAP-84).

Comments

I think the origin of this issue is the creation of an invalid entry. This is described in DIREVE-327.

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

The creation of an entry with an attribute which is not described in the schema is now not any more allowed.

[Stefan Zoerner]

Retested with the example data given in the description, Softerra LDAP Administrator 3.1 and ApacheDS 1.0 RC3. It worked as expected (entry creation failed), therefore I close this issue.
