--- Comment #6 from Howard Chu hyc@openldap.org --- slapd is only unescaping the bytes in the filter that correspond to printable characters. You can prove that the result is bytewise identical to the original input.
use "xxd -r -p" on the original input to generate the value in its decoded form. it will be an 1161 byte file.
Use this program on the text that slapd logged to generate the value in its decoded form. It will be an identical 1161 byte file.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { int c; while ((c = fgetc(stdin)) != EOF) { if (c == '\n') continue; if (c == '\') { scanf("%02x", &c); } putchar(c); } }
