I recommend using globus_gsi_cert_utils_get_x509_name() to parse DN strings in C code. http://viewcvs.globus.org/viewcvs.cgi/gsi/cert_utils/source/library/globus_gsi_cert_utils.c?view=markup
In Java I suggest org.globus.gsi.gssapi.GlobusGSSName(). http://viewcvs.globus.org/viewcvs.cgi/jglobus/src/org/globus/gsi/gssapi/GlobusGSSName.java?root=Java+COG&view=markup You don't need to escape '/' characters in grid-mapfiles. It's OK to have '/' characters in DN component values. For example, it's common to have "/CN=host/example.com" in DNs.
