Emmanuel Lecharny updated DIRSERVER-1285:
-----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.5.5)
                   2.0.0-RC1
          Summary: Quotes in DN are not handled correctly during normalization [was: Quotes in DN on simple binds causes referral error]  (was: Quotes in DN on simple binds causes referral error)

The real problem is that we do a pre-normalization during the DN parsing, where the quoted values are stored pristine into the normValue part, but any following normalization is done on the upValue, which still has the quote in it.

As we have to keep the UpValue intact, we should not do normalization on this upValue, but on this pre-normalized value. However, the way escaped chars are handled is problematic, as we remove the '\' during the pre-normalization.

We have to get rid of those problems, and this has to be done when we will refactor the full DN parsing, which has gone totally wild. 

Let's do that for 2.0
