Microsoft AD requires a forward slash ('/') be escaped with "\2f". Confer, [1, 2]. [1] https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5312.active-dire... [2] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adsi/ldap-dialect

Personally I understand [1] that escaping forward slash is only required when passing strings to ADSI and [2] is only about using ADSI.

I guess ADSI's LDAP client then sends non-escaped forward-slashes. I can't test it myself though.

Anyway you're allowed to apply correct escaping to any character in DNs (RFC 4514) or LDAP filters (RFC 4515) and this would also work with OpenLDAP.
