Re: Decoding error when splitting a DN with ldap_str2dn()

HI!

I have a problem splitting a DN with ldap_str2dn(). Actually I'm using
it from python-ldap but judging from the debug output there does not
seem to be an issue with passing the DN to the OpenLDAP API (see Python
console output below).

Any clue what's wrong with this DN?

OID.0.2.262.1.10.7.20=1 + CN=DIR DATEV D12 1:PN, O=DATEV eG, C=DE

BTW: Removing the spaces around , and + does not help either.

It appears to be LDAPv2 format. Did you specify that in the flags you passed to ldap_str2dn() ?

Ciao, Michael.

Python console:

 >>> ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL,65535)
 >>> dn
'OID.0.2.262.1.10.7.20=1 + CN=DIR DATEV D12 1:PN, O=DATEV eG, C=DE'
 >>> ldap.dn.str2dn(dn)
=> ldap_bv2dn(OID.0.2.262.1.10.7.20=1 + CN=DIR DATEV D12 1:PN, O=DATEV
eG, C=DE,0)
