That might be a side effect.

> removing unrequired escaping in DNs / filters

> Key: DIRSERVER-1247
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1247
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ldap
> Affects Versions: 1.5.4
> Reporter: Norval Hope
> Fix For: 1.5.5
>
> Attachments: escaping.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 8h
> Remaining Estimate: 8h
>
> The current Dn and filter handling is overly restrictive in that all
> non-ascii characters are quoted using the \NN syntax. This is probably due to
> rfc 2253 being unclear about the fact that multibyte UTF-8 encoded values can
> be used, but this iss further clarified in rfc 4514 which superceeds 2253.
> The application of unrequired quoting makes debugging / reading logs much
> harder then it should be, as it requires manual calculations rather then just
> setting the file encoding on your log file / IDE windows to being UTF-8.
> I have attached a patch file with the required updates to code and unit tests
> under /shared/ldap (some problems i had noted with earlier AD version due to
> unspecified encoding when converting bytes to / from Strings had already been
> tidied up in AD 1.5.4).
