[maildropl] ldap dn with embedded spaces

[Mariano A. <ba...@ba...>]

Hi,

I've just compiled maildrop 1.5.3 with ldap support and I'm having problems 
'cause my LDAP base contains spaces.

I configure maildrop's ldap.conf to use
binddn          'cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My Organization'

when I invoke maildrop manually
maildrop -d us...@my...

I get 
maildrop: signal 0x0B

However, browsing the ldap log I see it's trying to bind using a wrong dn 
(log lines manually folded):

Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4355]: conn=1937 fd=15 \
            ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:4622 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) 
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4361]: bind: invalid dn \
            ('cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My) 
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4361]: conn=1937 op=0 \
            RESULT tag=97 err=34 text=invalid DN 
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4355]: conn=1937 fd=15 closed 

Now, no matter what quotes I use (or no quote at all) in the ldap.conf line, 
it doesn't work:

With:
binddn          'cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My Organization'
I get:
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4361]: bind: invalid dn \
            ('cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My) 

With:
binddn          "cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My Organization"
I get:
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4361]: bind: invalid dn \
            ("cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My) 

With:
binddn          cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My Organization
I get:
Jul 11 16:44:19 dedos slapd[4361]: bind: invalid dn \
            ("cn=Admin,ou=Service,o=My") 

(note, unlike the first and second ones, the last one has opening _and_ 
closing quotes, but none of them gets the " Organization" part...)

I tried using "\ " and "%20" to no avail (I didn't expected that would work, 
anyway).

I _can't_ change the base LDAP tree since it is used in lots of places (by 
widely different software which never had a problem with embedded spaces), is 
there a way that maildrop be able to understand a blank space within a dn?

Any ideas?
