[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 0034 Limit permission and selfservice names

[Petr Viktorin]

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2585: ipa permission-add throws 
internal server error when name contains '<', '>' or other special 
characters.

The problem is, of course, proper escaping; not only in DNs but also in 
ACIs. Right now we don't really do either.

This patch is just a simple workaround: disallow anything except 
known-good characters. It's just names, so no functionality is lost.

All tickets for April are now taken, so unless a new one comes my way, 
I'll take a dive into the code and fix it properly. This could take some 
time and would mean somewhat larger changes.
