| ControlType are not stored as strings
-------------------------------------
Key: DIRSNICKERS-114
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSNICKERS-114
Project: Directory ASN1
Type: Bug
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Assigned to: Alex Karasulu
Priority: Blocker
Reported by Van Nhu today :
> Hi all,
>
> According to the RFC 2251, the "controlType" attribute
> of an LDAP Control "...MUST be a UTF-8 encoded
> dotted-decimal representation of an OBJECT IDENTIFIER
> which uniquely identifies the control". Essentially,
> this means that the "controlType" attribute is an
> OCTET STRING and should be treated as such.
>
> However, the Twix ASN1 codec is treating this
> attribute as an OBJECT IDENTIFIER. This results in
> incorrect decoding/decoding of LDAP Controls.
>
> I suggest that we change the type of the "controlType"
> attribute of the org.apache.asn1new.ldap.pojo.Control
> class from OID to LdapString to fix the problem. A
> patch, which includes a test for exposing the problem
> and validating the fix, is attached for your
> reference.
>
> With Regards,
> Van
