[Evolution] Bug#466693: evolution-data-server: LDAP addRequest with naming Violation

[Marco Maisenhelder]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.12.3-1
Severity: normal


In the current version it's apparently impossible to add a new contact into LDAP 
due to a problem with the dn line that is used in the addRequest. I took a look
at the tcpdump of the communication btw. evo and the openldap server and found
this:

Lightweight-Directory-Access-Protocol
    LDAPMessage addRequest(109)
        messageID: 109
        protocolOp: addRequest (8)
            addRequest
                entry: cn=test%2C tester,ou=addressbook, dc=laendle
                attributes: 5 items
                    Item cn
                        type: cn
                        vals: 1 item
                            test, tester
                    Item sn
                        type: sn
                        vals: 1 item
                            test
                    Item mail
                        type: mail
                        vals: 1 item
                            test at test.de
                    Item fileAs
                        type: fileAs
                        vals: 1 item
                            test, tester
                    Item objectClass
                        type: objectClass
                        vals: 5 items
                            top
                            person
                            organizationalPerson
                            inetOrgPerson
                            evolutionPerson

This gets answered by LDAP with this error:

Lightweight-Directory-Access-Protocol
    LDAPMessage addResponse(109) namingViolation (value of naming attribute 'cn' is not present in entry)
        messageID: 109
        protocolOp: addResponse (9)
            addResponse
                resultCode: namingViolation (64)
                matchedDN:
                errorMessage: value of naming attribute 'cn' is not present in entry

The problem could also be related to a recent LDAP upgrade and I think I read somewhere
that the server now checks more thoroughly for correctness.

If you need the raw packets I can supply those, but the problem is easily duplicated 
by just adding a new contact and writing "blah, blah" in the Full Name field and adding
an email address (to complete the entry as in the "add to addressbook" context menu).

Excuse me if I have violated any rules or not supplied enough data - it is my first
bug report ;)
