--- Comment #5 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
RFC 4514 (string representation of distinguished names) states that a space at
the beginning or end of a string must be escaped (there are other escaping
requirements but I am ignoring them for this discussion). Other characters may
be escaped.

Any character can be escaped with "\nn" sequences. Some characters may be
escaped with "\"

AD correctly escapes a space if it is the first or last character using "\ ".

It appears that the additional escaping observed originates in Java.

AD accepts queries using the same "\ " escaping it uses but does not accept any
additional "\ " escaping.

AD accepts queries that use optional "\nn" escaping.

RFC 4145 (string representation of search filters) only refers to "\nn"
escaping.

I'm currently looking at options to address this issue.
