ipaldap: avoid invalid modlist when attribute encoding differs
ipaldap does not take into account the possibility of the attribute encoding returned by python-ldap differing from the attribute encoding produced by FreeIPA. In particular this can occur with DNs with special characters that require escaping. For example, python-ldap (or the underlying LDAP library) escapes special characters using hex encoding: CN=Test Sub-CA 201604041620,OU=ftweedal,O=Red Hat\2C Inc.,L=Brisbane,C=AU Whereas FreeIPA, when encoding the DN, escapes the character directly: CN=Test Sub-CA 201604041620,OU=ftweedal,O=Red Hat\, Inc.,L=Brisbane,C=AU Therefore it is possible to generate an invalid modlist. For example, during external CA certificate renewal, if the issuer DN includes a comma in one of the attribute values (as above), an invalid modlist will be generated: [ (ldap.MOD_ADD, 'ipacaissuerdn', [b'CN=Test Sub-CA 201604041620,OU=ftweedal,O=Red Hat\, Inc.,L=Brisbane,C=AU']) , (ldap.MOD_DELETE, 'ipacaissuerdn', [b'CN=Test Sub-CA 201604041620,OU=ftweedal,O=Red Hat\2C Inc.,L=Brisbane,C=AU']) ] Although encoded differently, these are the same value. If this modification is applied to the object, attributeOrValueExists (error 20) occurs. To avoid the issue, put deletes before adds in the modlist. If a value is present (with different encodings) as both an addition and a deletion, it must be because the original object contained the value with a different encoding. Therefore it is safe to delete it, then add it back. Note that the modlist is not optimal. In the simplest case (like above example), there should be no modification to perform. It is considerably more complex (and more computation) to implement this because the raw attribute values must be decoded before comparison.
