Method Protocols.LDAP.encode_dn_value()

Method encode_dn_value

string encode_dn_value(string str)

Description

Encode the given string for use as an attribute value in a distinguished name (on string form).

The encoding is according to RFC 2253 section 2.4 with the exception that characters above 0x7F aren't UTF-8 encoded. UTF-8 encoding can always be done afterwards on the complete DN, which also is done internally by the Protocols.LDAP functions when LDAPv3 is used.
