Escaping of LDAPFilter queries

[zopyx]

Our customer has a DN containing "ou=Verkabelung, Audio,...". The DN is obtained from a former LDAP search. Using this DN requires an additional escaping of the backslash...is it supposed to escape on the application level or is there some support on the LDAPFilter layer?

There are escape chars defined in https://github.com/bluedynamics/node.ext.ldap/blob/master/src/node/ext/ldap/filter.py#L8 which are used in LDAPDictFilter. You can try using LDAPDictFilter for building your search query.
