Method Detail

convertLDAPv2Escape

public static java.lang.String convertLDAPv2Escape(java.lang.String filter)

Preprocess the LDAPv2 RFC1960 style filter escape sequences (precede a character with a a backslash) and convert them into the LDAPv3 style RFC2254 escape sequences (encode a character as a backslash followed by the two hex digits representing the character ASCII value). LDAPv3 style unescaping is done from the getByteValues()method. We must process LDAPv2 escaped characters earlier to get rid of possible "\(" \)" sequences which would make filter parsing in the JDAPFilter operate incorrectly.
