ApacheDS 1.0 RC 3
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Microsoft Windows XP version 5.1 Service Pack 1
Description
If one creates an entry with a special character in its RDN value (e.g. #, <, ...) which is escaped in the (R)DN, the resulting entries has the escape char () in its attribute value as well. Example:
Creating this entry:
dn: cn=Bush\, Kate,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
sn: Bush
cn: Bush, Kate
like this
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w ****** -a -f KateBush.ldif
adding new entry cn=Bush\, Kate,dc=example,dc=com
leads to an entry like that
$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -b "dc=example,dc=com" -s sub "(sn=Bush)"
version: 1
dn: cn=Bush\, Kate,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
sn: Bush
cn: Bush\, Kate
The expected for cn is "Bush, Kate", as provided by the LDIF above. The same error occurs with several characters (other than comma). I'll attach a JNDI JUnit test which demonstrates the issue with test methods using different characters (and the test passes on other directory servers).
Note: This problem may be related to DIRSERVER-628.
