To quote or escape?
I'm evaluating ldap servers and I'm having a (possible) problem with <comma>
We have some entries with <comma> in the ou. For example we have
ou="Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering"
or
ou=Electrical\, Computer and Systems Engineering
I would have expected that these two would be equivalent. However, if I
quote it that's what ends up in the dn, similarly if I escape it. The entry
looks like:
dn: ou=Electrical\, Computer and Systems Engineering, o=Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, c=US
telephoneNumber: 518-555-5555
facsimileTelephoneNumber: 518 555-5555
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalunit
ou: Electrical\, Computer and Systems Engineering
If I add entries to the above, I have to escape the comma in the same way.
Is this expected behaviour?
