Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSERVER-1646:
---------------------------------------------------

OK, I found the cause of the issue.

This is due to the fact we're using the String.toLowerCase() method in various places and that as stated in its javadoc, it can cause issues with various locales and especially the Turkish locale.

Here the specific note from the javadoc:
---------------------------------------
Note: This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale independently. Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML tags. For instance, "TITLE".toLowerCase() in a Turkish locale returns "t\u0131tle", where '\u0131' is the LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I character. To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH).
---------------------------------------

In our case 'I' characters get translated to lower dotless 'i', which is then causing a lot of issue in parts of code where we don't expect such a character.

In order to fix that we need to verify our use of the String.toLowerCase() method and we might need to replace it by String..toLowerCase( Locale.ENGLISH ) as it is mentionned in the javadoc.

> Similar to DIRSERVER-1645, but no exception log was found and the startup failed immediately. Added these to wrapper.conf and the service could be started:
> wrapper.java.additional.10=-Duser.language=en
> wrapper.java.additional.11=-Duser.country=US
