mod_auth_ldap doubly-escapes backslash (\) characters in uids

           Summary: mod_auth_ldap doubly-escapes backslash (\) characters in
                    uids
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.47
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_auth_ldap
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


In order to authenticate against ActiveDirectory-style uids with backslashes in 
them the authentication user name contains this character.

Unfortunately the LDAP logs are showing that Apache is over-escaping the 
backslash -- at least on Windows (2000 SP4, all security updates applied).  I 
suspect this above the LDAP SDK layer and thus applies to all platforms, but I 
could be proven wrong, of course.

This is a serious issue to anyone needing to support use of such (existing) 
directories.  Both workarounds and pointers to code areas to investigate (other 
than "look at the mod_auth_ldap and/or util_ldap sources" -- I know that much) 
would be greatly appreciated!
