Re: (ITS#8284) back-relay: olcRelay issues with values containing white spaces

[michele.bensi@fisica.unimi.it]

Well this was the first thing I tried, but when I use

olcRelay: "ou=Dipartimento di Fisica,o=Università degli Studi di Milano,c=IT"

I got

ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
        additional info: olcRelay: value #0 invalid per syntax

Then I tried with

olcRelay: ou="Dipartimento di Fisica",o="Università degli Studi di Milano",c=IT

I had the same error of extra cruft.

I solved patching servers/slapd/back-relay/init.c this way
