using ldap, comma in dn

[Jens Tekhaus]

In active directory from windows there is a comma in the distinguished
name of an user. When try to get it with a quoted character:
CN=name\, sname,OU=Domain_Benutzer,OU=group,DC=customer,DC=de
I get the following error message:

Invalid filter: malformed assertion value

"::ldap::search $handle [GetUserGroupFromDN $user_dn]
"&(objectCategory=user)(distinguishedName=$user_dn)" $filter"

When I tried it with users without comma in dn it works.

I tried to get it without \ and with double \. Nothing worked.

Who can help me? Thanks

Quoting for DNs is defined in http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1485.html

If that does not work, please file a bug at the sourceforge tracker
for tcllib.

The solution is, that some charcters has to be quoted with their hex
values. I wrote a proc which substitutes the comma:

proc FixDN dn {
return [regsub -all {\\\,} $dn {\\5c\\2c}]
}

No it works.
