Thank You Kurt.

So I have contradicting interpretations, how leading significant spaces have
to be quoted in DNs.

What is Your interpretation of that issue?

We just need to have a leading space in a DN attribute value, top specify it
in the LDIF file and to retrieve it in an LDAP lookup.

Thank You in advance, Kurt,
