LDAP Authentication

Running 2.1.5 on a Windows 2003 box in a Windows AD domain. LDAP authentication fails when OU has a “/” in it. In the admin console the users of this OU can be seen but when they try to login the authentication fails ( See debug log below ). I was able to rename the OU with a space instead of slash “/” and authentication works now. Will this be fixed in a later release?

I think the / has special meaning in JNDI so you need to escape it with a \2f. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/searc h_filter_syntax.asp for more details regarding special characters.

That was it. Thanks.
