LDAP Search containing URL - InvalidNameException: ldap:: [LDAP: error code 34 - Invalid root Dn given ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-2319 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2319 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Naming Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Eduardo Martins Fix For: 8.0.0.CR1 Attachments: LdapSearching.tgz The following code: - {code} Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"); env.put("java.naming.security.authentication", "simple"); env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ldap://localhost:10389"); env.put(InitialDirContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "uid=admin,ou=system"); env.put(InitialDirContext.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret"); SearchControls ctl = null; String attrArr[] = new String[1]; attrArr[0] = "sn"; ctl = new SearchControls(2, 0L, 0, attrArr, false, false); String base = "ldap://localhost:10389/dc=simple,dc=wildfly,dc=org"; String filter = "(uid=UserOne)"; NamingEnumeration nenum = null; DirContext ictx = null; ictx = new InitialDirContext(env); nenum = ictx.search(base, filter, ctl); {code} Results in the following exception: - {noquote} 13:03:45,598 ERROR [stderr] (default task-1) javax.naming.InvalidNameException: ldap:: [LDAP: error code 34 - Invalid root Dn given : ldap: (0x6C 0x64 0x61 0x70 0x3A ) is invalid]; remaining name 'ldap://localhost:10389/dc=simple,dc=wildfly,dc=org' 13:03:45,599 ERROR [stderr] (default task-1) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:3025) 13:03:45,600 ERROR [stderr] (default task-1) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:2840) 13:03:45,600 ERROR [stderr] (default task-1) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.c_lookup(LdapCtx.java:1034) {noquote} Switching to a base that does not begin with a URL and the search works, executing this code outside of WildFly also works. The underlying issue is that the default InitialContext implementation contains the following method: - {code} protected Context getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(String name) throws NamingException { if (NamingManager.hasInitialContextFactoryBuilder()) { return getDefaultInitCtx(); } String scheme = getURLScheme(name); if (scheme != null) { Context ctx = NamingManager.getURLContext(scheme, myProps); if (ctx != null) { return ctx; } } return getDefaultInitCtx(); } {code} As the naming subsystem has registered a InitialContextFactoryBuilder this code will never fall down to the scheme specific section.
