Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
Summary: When the customer uses the construct button to create referral URLs in the Directory Server console, the URLs created contain spaces which cause them not to work. Removing the space from the URL seems to be enough to get a working URL, but customer would like this addressed. I haven't seen any existing BZ's on this yet. This event sent from IssueTracker by mpoole [Support Engineering Group] issue 277133
If you use the 'Construct' button to create the referral urls, the referrals don't work. It puts a space between the domain name components, e.g.: Using the 'Construct' button results in this URL: ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example, dc=com (note the space after dc=example, ) Instead, if you enter the URL manually as below and add it, the referrals work: ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com This appears in both the suffix referral settings and the userroot replication settings.
As rfc2255, tail of section 3 notes ... Note that any URL-illegal characters (e.g., spaces), URL special characters (as defined in section 2.2 of RFC 1738) and the reserved character '?' (ASCII 63) occurring inside a dn, filter, or other element of an LDAP URL MUST be escaped using the % method described in RFC 1738 [5]. If a comma character ',' occurs inside an extension value, the character MUST also be escaped using the % method.
