Additional info:

Moving to next month iteration.

The internal fault occurs because of invalid user input, the user-container RDN is malformed (there is no type, i.e. the LHS of type=value).

We should validate all user input, including DN's and RDN's, prior to it ever reaching our internal code.

Fortunately the dn module I added last fall is capable of validating DN's and RDN's. I believe all we need to do is add a validation function to the parameters taking a DN or RDN for the command.

Actually the validation is nothing more than creating a RDN object from the string the user supplied. Too bad we'll throw this away because at some point soon we'll be passing DN and RDN objects around instead of simple strings, but that's a fix for another day.

after adding the validator function and executing the above ipa command you now get this:

ipa: ERROR: invalid 'user_container': malformed RDN string = "BostonUsers"
