Hello,

 

PSPNG 2.3 Patch 14 now makes sure that the escaping sticks all the way through the expressions and into LDAP; there was a gap in that process as Patch 13 implemented it.

 

In response to several of your other problems, my next task is to (as quickly as possible) address the updates that do not get propagated to LDAP groups name/description (GRP-1345) and DN (GRP-1346).

 

Thanks,

  Bert Bee-Lindgren

bushyDn should already do all the escaping that is necessary. It was tested with OU commas and escapleLdapRdn was tested with group-name commas, but I'm duplicating and patching the problem with bushyDn and group-name commas/pluses.

Good afternoon

I see that Bert has released a patch for issue https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1533

I've installed the patch but I'm still seeing the same issue (with  + and , for example).

I suspect that I need to do something with utils.escapeLdapRdn(string) in grouper-loader.properties. I've tried various things but haven't been able to work it out yet. Any advice, please?

I've attached the relevant part of grouper-loader.properties.

Thanks
Dave
