    Product Standard LDAP Certified
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSLDAP version 2.2 GA
    Test Identification Not a test : just importing syntaxes.ldif file
    Specification IETF RFC2253
    Location in Spec Par. 3
    Problem Summary Syntaxes ldif file contains invalid DN regarding RFC 2253
    Problem Text The following entry in syntaxes.ldif seems to be invalid :

    dn: cn=Time=Money, ou=Syntaxes, ou=Search, o=IMC, c=US
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: person
    cn: Time=Money
    sn: Smith

    As stated by RFC 2849 :
    ...
    dn-spec = "dn:" (FILL distinguishedName /
    ":" FILL base64-distinguishedName)

    distinguishedName = SAFE-STRING
    ; a distinguished name, as defined in [3]
    ...
    [3] Wahl, M., Kille, S. and T. Howes, "A String Representation of
    Distinguished Names", RFC 2253, December 1997.
    ...

    and in RFC 2253, par. 3 :
    ...
    attributeValue = string

    string = *( stringchar / pair )
    / "#" hexstring
    / QUOTATION *( quotechar / pair ) QUOTATION ; only from v2

    stringchar = <any character except one of special, "\" or QUOTATION >
    special = "," / "=" / "+" / "<" / ">" / "#" / ";"
    pair = "\" ( special / "\" / QUOTATION / hexpair )
    ...

    we should not a '=' in a DN without a escaping '\' just before it.

    The Ldif file should contain
    dn: cn=Time\=Money, ou=Syntaxes, ou=Search, o=IMC, c=US
    instead of
    dn: cn=Time=Money, ou=Syntaxes, ou=Search, o=IMC, c=US
