Re: (ITS#5540) Normalization assertion in attr.c

Sean Burford wrote:

Not all attributes have an equality matching rule. This causes your patch to segfault since sat_equality is NULL:

have_norm = a->a_desc->ad_type->sat_equality->smr_normalize != NULL;

This seems to be a better way to generate have_norm:

have_norm = a->a_desc->ad_type->sat_equality != NULL &&
a->a_desc->ad_type->sat_equality->smr_normalize != NULL;

Thanks, looks fine.

Once that is fixed the config backend causes an assert for me when it attempts to add createTimestamp, which is exactly the problem you describe.

I'll create a patch that addresses any of these normalization issues that I can identify and send it to one of the openldap lists. Would openldap-its or openldap-devel be preferable?

Just continue to reply to this ITS for now.
