Description

While testing DIRSERVER-2131, i was getting a null pointer exception in AbstractBTreePartition.
the modification at AuthenticationInterceptor:1074 was: -
ModifyContext for Dn 'uid=x135_Y246,ou=users,ou=system', modifications :
Modification: remove
, attribute : pwdReset: (null)
Modification: remove
, attribute : pwdReset: TRUE
Modification: replace
, attribute : entryCSN: 20160311143753.732000Z#000000#000#000000

and this meant that the entryAttr value at AbstractBTreePartition:1752 was null.

options are: -
1) find out why pwdReset is removed and then replaced (the replace gets turned into a remove oddly).
2) handle entryAttr being null.
