Description

Sending a request, like a ModifyRequest, with some missing data like the DN will leads to some NPE inside the encoder, which will translates to some cryptic error being returned by the server :

org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.exception.LdapException: PROTOCOL_ERROR: The server will disconnect!

We need to return a decent error, and also avoid any NPE.
