Issue ID: 9393
           Summary: Provider a LDAP filter validation function
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: 2.4.56
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: libraries
          Assignee: bugs@openldap.org
          Reporter: best@univention.de
  Target Milestone: ---
In many situations I need to validate if a user submitted LDAP filter has valid
syntax.
It seems there is no official function to check this.
Could you provide one?
libraries/libldap/filter.c: ldap_pvt_put_filter() can be used as a basis.

My current workaround is using a unconnected ldap connection and do a search
with that filter. This yields a FILTER_ERROR (invalid filter) or a SERVER_DOWN
error (invalid filter).
