Description

The new Apache DS-Server 2.0.0.AM25 makes problems when we try to import our schema file (was not a problem so far).

Importing a new schema-file in ldif-format don't generates errors.
But when we try to restart the server then the server won't start up and we see the following exceptions in the log file:

[17:07:23] INFO [org.apache.directory.server.UberjarMain] - Starting the service.

I could reproduce the errors with a very simple schema-file (test.ldif) - only one new attribute and one new objectclass.

I think, the problem ist in the generated file called cn=test.ldif  (...\partitions\schema\ou=schema\cn=test.ldif )

In this file, the creatorsName ist set to "0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1= admin ,2.5.4.11= system"

creatorsName:: MC45LjIzNDIuMTkyMDAzMDAuMTAwLjEuMT0gYWRtaW4gLDIuNS40LjExPSBzeXN0Z
 W0g

When i manually change the creatorsName uid=admin,ou=system (like in the other lidf-schema-files) then the server starts again.
