Re: LDAPprep: mapping of " " values
I need to read up on X.520, but: The behaviour which seems most
consistent with the current ldapbis documents seems to me to be:
- "foo * bar" does not match "foo bar" - the two spaces in the
substrings do not match _disjoint_ portions of "foo bar".
Nor does it match "foo bar", which is equivalent to "foo bar".
- " *" matches all non-empty values.
(Matches " " where the space is significant, matches other
non-empty values where an initial space is insignificant.)
- "* *" matches all values containing a space.
- So " * * " matches <anything non-space spaces non-space anything>.
(Collapse multiple spaces, then combine the two rules above.)
