16225 - hasValue barfs when comparing DN

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Directory :: PerLDAP, defect, P3)

Description

[Taras Dowhaluk]

hasValue() assumes that all attributes are stored as an array ref.
This is unfortunate when comparing DN because DN is stored as a scalar,
hence hasValue() barfs on the foreach.

A quick fix might be:
In Entry.pm, lines 637 and 645, change
      foreach $attrval (@{$self->{$attr}})
to
      foreach $attrval ((lc($attr) eq "dn") ? $self->{"dn"} : @{$self->{$attr}})

hasValue now has:
  return 0 unless defined($self->{$attr});


DN isn't an atttribute, so hasValue doesn't work on it.  Use getDN() to compare
what the DN is.
