#47720 Normalization from old DN format to New DN format doesnt handel condition properly when there is space in a suffix after the seperator operator.
Closed: wontfix None Opened 10 years ago by jyotidas81.

Hi,

For example there is a suffix say cn="dc=example,<space here>dc=com". As per new style DN syntax, it should be converted as below

 New DN after normalization: cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom

Here, the space should be removed after separator operator(','), but this not handled properly in our current implementation.

I have gone through the code and made the following change to address this scenario.

Function name:
int
slapi_dn_normalize_ext(char src, size_t src_len, char dest, size_t dest_len)

case INVALUE: / in value; cn=ABC /

} else if (ISSPACE(s)) {
/
remove extra spaces, e.g., "cn=ABC DEF" -->
"cn=ABC DEF" /
/
============New Code==========================/
/
Here we need to have a check to determine whether
/ the previous character to the space is a /
/ separator operator and if yes, we need to all the/
/ space after the separator operator /
/======================================/
if (!SEPARATORSTR(s-2)){ / New check for this isse /
d++ = s++;
}
while (ISSPACE(*s))
s++;

Description: DN normalizer (slapi_dn_normalize_ext) follows RFC 4514
and keeps a white space if the RDN attribute type is not based on the
DN syntax. But Directory server's configuration entry sometimes uses
"cn" to store a DN value (e.g., dn: cn="dc=A,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,
cn=config), which expects the value of cn treated as DN although cn
is not a DN syntax type. To solve the problem, this patch introduces
a configuration parameter "nsslapd-cn-uses-dn-syntax-in-dns" to "cn=
config" which takes "on" or "off". If "on" is set, if the value of
cn under "cn=config" is quoted, it's processed as DN. By default,
nsslapd-cn-uses-dn-syntax-in-dns: off
