Description

Modifying an entry and removing an attribute creates a LDIF enry like :

dn: cn=test,ou=users,ou=system
changetype: modify
delete: userPassword
-

which is transformed to a ModifyRequest with a Modification containing the attribute and a 'null' value, which is wrong.

The AttributeUtils.toApiAttributes() method uses :

...
for ( NamingEnumeration<?> values = jndiAttribute.getAll(); values.hasMoreElements(); )
{
Object value = values.nextElement();

if ( value instanceof String )

{ attribute.add( ( String ) value ); }

else if ( value instanceof byte[] )

{ attribute.add( ( byte[] ) value ); }

else

{ attribute.add( ( String ) null ); <-------------- Wrong ! }

}
