Bloody hell !!! You are right Endi...

The search result entry requests does not return the correct DN, because it use the internal representation (byte[]) instead of using the user provided value, which contains escaped values.

Here, we have two options :
1) work with the internal value, but escape all the special chars
2) work with the stored UP value.

I think the bnest solution is (2), because the UP value is supposed to be valid - it has successfully been parsed when the first request arrived -.

This will impact two parts :
- searchResultEntry
- all the response that contains a LdapResult and which returns a MatchedDN.

I already have a fix for the first request, but the question is : which version will integrate this modification ?

any suggestion ?

> ldapadd -h localhost -p 10389 -D uid=admin,ou=system -w secret -x
> dn: cn=Dewata\, Endi,ou=Users,ou=system

> 2. Search the entry:
> ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D uid=admin,ou=system -w secret -x -b "ou=system"
> #
> dn: cn=Dewata, Endi,ou=Users,ou=system
> objectclass: person

> The escape character (\) is missing from the DN, causing it to become invalid.
