Description

LDAP URLs (RFC 2255) are not supported in context searches when using CoreContextFactory. Searching with LDAP URLs is described in the Sun JNDI tutorial:

http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/misc/url.html

We have full support of RFC 2255 in shared/ldap/src/main/java/org/apache/directory/shared/ldap/codec/util/LdapURL class. However, with CCF, as in the following code ...

CoreContextFactory ccf = new CoreContextFactory();
DirContext ctx = ( DirContext ) ccf.getInitialContext( env );

String url = "ldap://localhost:" + port +
"/ou=users,dc=example,dc=com?krb5PrincipalName?sub?(krb5PrincipalName=[e-mail])";

NamingEnumeration answer = ctx.search( url, "", null );

... the LDAP URL format for the name is not supported and the following exception is thrown:

javax.naming.InvalidNameException: Bad DN :
ldap://localhost:1024/ou=users,dc=example,dc=com?krb5PrincipalName?sub?(krb5PrincipalName=[e-mail])
