public interface Encoder

Escapes special characters in names and/or DNs to make them suitable for LDAP-through-JNDI. Backslashes are a special character in both LDAP and JNDI, and so must be escaped twice. This means that a \ becomes \\\\ Other Ldap special characters are escaped with a single backslash. The characters in question are: \ + # = , < > An example escaped DN: cn=Smith\, John, dc=example, dc=org
