validate user login and pwd - cn with space

[keiw...@gmail.com]

Base on the sample IDirEntries (use NWIDIRE.DLL), I modify it and make a
for loop to validate a list of user CN and password. if login success, the
username and password pair is valid.

But if the value of CN contains space, the program cannot validate the
pair in eDirectory.

How can I do to escape space in CN so as to validate all CN with space
successfully in eDirectory?
