Description

Searching the Root DSE as an anonymous user using different clients produces inconsistent results.

The tests were performed using Sun's JNDI client and Novell's Java LDAP client (http://www.openldap.org/jldap). Please the notes in the attached test case for more details.

On ApacheDS 1.0-RC1 with allowAnonymousAccess=true the results are:
 - JNDI Client : pass
 - V2 JNDI Client : pass
 - V3 JNDI Client : pass
 - LDAP Client : pass
 - V2 LDAP Client : pass
 - V3 LDAP Client : pass
In this scenario everything passes as expected.

On ApacheDS 1.0-RC1 with allowAnonymousAccess=false the results are:
 - JNDI Client : pass
 - V2 JNDI Client : pass
 - V3 JNDI Client : fail
 - LDAP Client : fail
 - V2 LDAP Client : pass
 - V3 LDAP Client : pass
In this scenario everything was expected to fail.

On ApacheDS 1.1 with allowAnonymousAccess=true the results are:
 - JNDI Client : pass
 - V2 JNDI Client : fail
 - V3 JNDI Client : pass
 - LDAP Client : pass
 - V2 LDAP Client : fail
 - V3 LDAP Client : pass
In this scenario everything was expected to pass.

On ApacheDS 1.1 with allowAnonymousAccess=false the results are:
 - JNDI Client : pass
 - V2 JNDI Client : fail
 - V3 JNDI Client : fail
 - LDAP Client : fail
 - V2 LDAP Client : fail
 - V3 LDAP Client : pass
In this scenario everything was expected to fail.
