Looking at the man page, ldap_explode_rdn() would still return the 
string in the escaped form:

       Similarly,  the  ldap_explode_rdn() routine takes an RDN as 
returned by
       ldap_explode_dn(dn,0) and breaks it up into its "type=value"  
component
       parts  (or  just  "value",  if the notypes parameter is set).  
Note the
       value  is  not  unescaped.   The  result  can  be  freed   by   
calling
       ldap_value_free(3).

So it seems that ldap_str2dn() is the way to go. Thanks.
