Hi Everyone,
Microsoft AD requires a forward slash ('/') be escaped with "\\2f".
Confer, [1, 2]. However, escaping the forward slash is not required
per the RFCs (if I am parsing the RFCs correctly).
I would like to know if OpenLDAP recognizes an escaped forward slash
and handles it properly. I suspect OpenLDAP does since slapd is just a
front-end to different directories.
The reason I would like to know is for a generic encoder. If MS Active
Directory, Novell eDirectory and OpenLDAP handle the escaped forward
slash as expected, then it makes it easier to write the encoder.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
