LDAP Username Format
LDAP usernames should be entered exactly as entered for the LDAP Distinguished Name in the server console.

WARNING: The examples provided here are based on standard default settings in LDAP for Microsoft Active Directory Services. The suggested entries and examples may not be applicable to all other server types, or if any changes have made to default settings on the LDAP Active Directory server.

Examples:
CN=Jane Doe, CN=Users, DC=qc, DC=local
CN=Public\, Joe Q., OU=Users, OU=Sales, DC=qc,
     DC=local
CN=Doe\, John, CN=Users, DC=qc, DC=local

If the user's name includes characters such as a comma (,), semicolon (;), equals sign (=), quotation mark ("), plus sign (+), backslash (\), less than symbol (<), or greater than symbol (>), a backslash (\) must be entered before that character.

As in the example above, if the user's name in the console is Doe, John you would enter the username in the conf file as Doe\, John. (See the console examples for Public\, Joe Q. and for Doe\, John.)

If the username contains a backslash, you must enter an additional backslash before that character.
