Special Characters that should be excluded in the LDAP

Recently, we found an issue where James would fail to build the users list for an LDAP connection when James encountered a comma in the common name in the LDAP. Is there a known list of special characters that will cause problems when James attempts to connect or access the LDAP?

Thanks,

Hi Cindy,

I have limited knowledge on Apache James so I could be wrong but this is
more of an LDAP question. Open LDAP follows RFC2253 specification.

You can find the list of special characters here for common names:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt

Thanks,
Sai
