#48013 Inconsistent behaviour of DS when LDAP Sync is used with an invalid cookie
Closed: wontfix None Opened 9 years ago by nhosoi.

[1] Cookie: "#"
$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 ... -b dc=example,dc=com -LLL -E sync=ro/"#"
[output snipped]

Server returned all requested entries as if it would be without the cookie.

[2] Cookie "##"
$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 ... -b dc=example,dc=com -LLL -E sync=ro/"##"
Content Sync Refresh Required (4096)
Additional information: Invalid session cookie

[3] Cookie "a#a#a"
$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 ... -b dc=example,dc=com -LLL -E sync=ro/"a#a#a"
[output snipped]

Server returned all entries as if it would be without the cookie.

[4] Cookie "a#a#1"
$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 ... -b dc=example,dc=com -LLL -E sync=ro/"a#a#1"
Content Sync Refresh Required (4096)
Additional information: Invalid session cookie

In all cases cookie is invalid, but in [1] and [2] I get all requested entries,
in [2] and [4] no entries at all.

I think server should be more strict and return entries only when valid cookie
is present or when there is no cookie at all.

Per 389-ds-base ticket triage, commented as:
is this still valid? there has been more sanity checks on cookies
likely fixed, but we should validate before closing.

The described behavior is still present in master branch. In fact the plugin is detecting the cookie is invalid, but by two different ways(and two different end results): parsing & validation

{{{
"#" - Fails parsing, but returns all entries
"##" - Passes parsing, but fails validation check - error returned
"a#a#a" - Fails parsing, but returns all entries
"a#a#1" - Passes prasing, but fails validation check - error returned
}}}

These separate parsing/validation steps just need to be done at the same time.
