User with slash or backslash char in LDAP name cannot log in through security-realm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-1313 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-1313 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Reporter: Hynek Švábek Assignee: Lin Gao Priority: Minor Attachments: users.ldif According to LDAP specification [1], DN can contain slash char without escaping or escaped backslash, etc. I am not able to log in to management console with username "Slash/Char" or "Back\Slash". But I would be able to log in there. I can see this in Wireshark *Slash/Char* {code} LDAPMessage bindRequest(1) ""uid=Slash/Char",ou=People,o=LdapRealmSpecialNameManualTest7d339efa,o=primary,dc=jboss,dc=org" simple LDAPMessage bindResponse(1) invalidDNSyntax (Incorrect DN given : "uid=Slash/Char",ou=People,o=LdapRealmSpecialNameManualTest7d339efa,o=primary,dc=jboss,dc=org (0x22 0x75 0x69 0x64 0x3D 0x53 0x6C 0x61 0x73 0x68 0x2F 0x43 0x68 0x61 0x72 0x2 {code} You can see there quotation marks around *uid=Slash/Char*. *Back\Slash* {code} LDAPMessage bindRequest(1) "uid=Back\\\Slash,ou=People,o=LdapRealmSpecialNameManualTest7d339efa,o=primary,dc=jboss,dc=org" simple LDAPMessage bindResponse(1) invalidDNSyntax (Incorrect DN given : uid=Back\\\Slash,ou=People,o=LdapRealmSpecialNameManualTest7d339efa,o=primary,dc=jboss,dc=org (0x75 0x69 0x64 0x3D 0x42 0x61 0x63 0x6B 0x5C 0x5C 0x5C 0x53 0x6C 0x61 0x73 0x6 {code} You can see there three backslash chars. In my opinion problem can be somewhere around this {code} javax.naming.NameImpl.stringifyComp(String comp) {code} [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2253#section-3
