Return Value
Encoded string for use in LDAP search queries.Remarks
This method encodes all but known safe characters defined in the safe list.
RFC 4515 defines the format in which special characters need to be
escaped to be used inside a search filter. Special characters need to be
encoded in \XX format where XX is the hex representation of the character.
The following examples illustrate the use of the escaping mechanism.
