Hi once again, replying to myself
I think I tracked down the problem with a local openldap server.
IMO the point is, you are using a ldap search escaping for a DN Request
which needs another kind of escaping.
the '(' worked well with my NULL-Patch because '(' is a char that needs
escaping for a search filter but not for DN.
I experienced some more problems with users containing a '+', '<' for
example. so I googled a bit and found this one.
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200407/msg00722.html
So you might be missing (or I didnt find it) a special DN escaping
function. I added one in the following patch and all the special chars
seems to work find in the bind AND search requests.
