Hello.

I'm using openldap 2.4.19 with sql backend. I have a troubles with queries that contains single-quote ( ' ) character. For example, if I searching for (cn=Zool'man):

<==backsql_srch_query() returns SELECT DISTINCT ldap_entries.id,phpbb_users.user_id,varchar_ci('phpbbUser') AS objectClass,ldap_entries.dn AS dn FROM ldap_entries,phpbb_users WHERE phpbb_users.user_id=ldap_entries.keyval AND ldap_entries.oc_map_id=? AND 9=9 AND (varchar_ci(phpbb_users.username)='ZOOL'MAN') Constructed query: SELECT DISTINCT ldap_entries.id,phpbb_users.user_id,varchar_ci('phpbbUser') AS objectClass,ldap_entries.dn AS dn FROM ldap_entries,phpbb_users WHERE phpbb_users.user_id=ldap_entries.keyval AND ldap_entries.oc_map_id=? AND 9=9 AND (varchar_ci(phpbb_users.username)='ZOOL'MAN') id: '2' backsql_oc_get_candidates(): error executing query Return code: -1 nativeErrCode=7 SQLengineState=S1000 msg="[unixODBC]ERROR: syntax error at or near "MAN" at character 271;

In this case query should be like varchar_ci(phpbb_users.username)='ZOOL'MAN' instead of 'ZOOL'MAN'

How to solve this issue? Thanks.

I suggest you file an ITS http://www.openldap.org/. I fear this opens a can of worms, as escaping risks to be RDBMS dependent.
