Adding the following entry to the ApacheDS server (default configuration, i.e. server.xml unchanged) causes a protocol error:
dn: ou=nomen=omen,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: nomen=omen
The '='-sign is probably the cause of the problem.
I used both Softerra LDAP Administrator and ldapadd (from Sun Java system Directory Server) to add a file with the above content. Both attempts failed, and the client connection was closed with a protocol error. ApacheDS was still up and working afterwards (it still accepted client connections and served requests).
Note that I was able to import the file with the relevant entry in other servers, i.e. Sun Java System Directory Server.
