I can't speak to the rest of your problem, but I bet that backslash
is there because you have a comma in your CN (Common Name). The comma
is used in that particular syntax of DN (Distinguished Name). So the
comma has to be escaped somehow. A lot of systems use a backslash as
an escape character.
In a different syntax, I bet would see:
/CN=Kennedy, Jim/OU=...
