Description

When adding an objectclass=subtree entry with a subtreeSpecification, some LDAP servers (i.e., OpenDJ) respond with the following error message when the value of the specificationFilter (most commonly a standard (attribute=value) filter) is not surrounded by quotes. The example below is typical when using a subentry to grant privileges to a group via an operational attribute "isMemberOf" (may be specific to OpenDS/OpenDJ).

#!ERROR [LDAP: error code 21 - Entry "cn=Example,dc=example,dc=com" contains a value "

{ specificationFilter “(isMemberOf=cn=Example Group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)” }" for attribute subtreeSpecification that is invalid according to the syntax for that attribute: The provided value "{ specificationFilter “(isMemberOf=cn=Example Group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)” }

" could not be parsed as a valid RFC 3672 subtree specification]
