Fix for empty attribute values

Open lionello opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Per RFC 2253 attribute values can be empty:

attributeTypeAndValue = attributeType "=" attributeValue

attributeType = (ALPHA 1*keychar) / oid
keychar    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-"

oid        = 1*DIGIT *("." 1*DIGIT)

attributeValue = string

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

where * is 0-or-more and 1* is 1-or-more.

In addition to fixing the AttributeTypeValue regex, to allow creation of a X500Name by object with empty string value, I call RDN.addByString as opposed to using the constructor (which parses multi-valued RDN strings which setByObject would never get).

This also addresses a breaking change introduced in 6.2.1 for values that have + in them: these suddenly got parsed as multi-value attributes.
