Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Black, Carey M." <>]

I would express this as:

 

Bug: “Grouper” (all components) may not support the RFC for email addresses properly.

 

                Which to be fair, can be a surprisingly difficult task. Given the complexity in the definition of the allowed data formats/content rules.

                But one that I always think is “doing it the right way”. J

 

                REF: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1

                REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Local-part

 

( so +1 for fixing it so that all valid email addresses a useable.)

 

 

 

But to pick at your report a bit… ( I know next to nothing about PSP / NGPSP yet )

 

The error I see is this:  “[LDAP: error code 21 - member: value #0 invalid per syntax]},”

                The value that is being sent appears to be “Reference[toPsoID=PSOIdentifier[id='mail=',targetID=ldap,containerID=<null>],type=member]'”

                                That “[id='mail=” part looks “odd” to me. NOTE there is not a comma between the “id=” and ‘mail=   So the id value starts with ‘mail= . Which seems wrong to me.

                Which is also returning “={[LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]}”.

 

It sounds like your LDAP system is refusing to add a membership to an object that it cannot find.

Is the problem with how the membership is being resolved to the ldap user?

Subject: [grouper-users] plus signs in email addresses

 

We have external users who are identified by email address. If the email address contains a plus sign we have two problems:

 

(1) The user interface gives "Error: cannot find subject" when we click on the external user. To fix this Grouper would need to URL encode the plus sign in the HREF link (change plus to %2B).

 

(2) PSP gives an error code 21 when it tries to write this group member to the LDAP database:

Can these problems be fixed so that plus signs are handled correctly in the email address or do we need to remove these external users from our Grouper database?
