Description

Searches with quotes in the search base do not work as expected. I have a created a person entry:

dn: cn=Kylie Minogue,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
sn: Minogue
cn: Kylie Minogue

and try to find it with the following search parameters:

BASE DN: cn="Kylie Minogue",dc=example,dc=com
Filter: (cn=Kylie Minogue)
Scope: BASE

No entry is found in ApacheDS 1.0 RC3. But RFC 2253 (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names) requires that implementations must allow a value to be surrounded by quote ('"' ASCII 34) characters, which are not part of the value (Chapter 4. Relationship with RFC 1779 and LDAPv2).

I have created a JUnit test which imitates the search with the help of JNDI (attached). It works with Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 and IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0.
