Filter string with escaped forward slash

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
