We have users in AD stored as CN=Doe\, John,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com When using this with mapping and proxy, we end up seeing the users via a ldap browser as CN=Doe\\\ and are unable to access the entry. I can reproduce with 1.2.5 binary from the nightly build on both windows and linux. I would just use 1.2.4 but can't use the memberOf ldap filter in 1.2.4. 1.2.4 and bellow do not show this issue. I can post the server error output if requested. Also can post config examples. Basic setup: dc=fake,dc=com domain, with mapped LDAP OU's to the ou=User from 3 Active Directory domains. Additional Comments From smsource dated Fri May 09 08:39:31 CDT 2008 The patch in bug PENROSE-262 that is currently applied to the SVN is the cause of the problem. I don't know java well enough to fix it, but i did remove the code, reverted back to the escaped character code from 1.2.4 and am working fine. ========================================================= Issue dump from jira $VAR1 = { 'priority' => '4', 'customFieldValues' => [], 'project' => 'PENROSE', 'status' => '1', 'components' => [ {} ], 'reporter' => 'smsource', 'key' => 'PENROSE-299', 'assignee' => 'jimyang', 'summary' => 'Penrose 1.2.5 Proxy of escaped comma's fails', 'id' => '10994', 'updated' => '2008-05-09 08:39:31.0', 'votes' => '0', 'fixVersions' => [], 'affectsVersions' => [ { 'releaseDate' => '2008-04-14 00:00:00.0', 'sequence' => '27', 'name' => 'Penrose-1.2.5', 'released' => 'true', 'id' => '10124', 'archived' => 'false' } ], 'description' => 'We have users in AD stored as CN=Doe\\, John,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com When using this with mapping and proxy, we end up seeing the users via a ldap browser as CN=Doe\\\\\\ and are unable to access the entry.
