Openfire 4.0.2, OpenLDAP:
When searching for a uid with a ‘’ in it, the string that gets sent to the LDAP server has the '’ converted to ‘\5C2a’ instead of the expected ‘\2a’.
OpenLDAP command line tool doesn’t convert - and not converting means that the searches actually work.
Current LDAP settings:
Ldap Base DN: ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com
Ldap Admin DN: cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=com
We are porting a legacy system to OpenLDAP that previously used MySQL for usernames, where we need to use the * character.
Any advice on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
