Remarks

The following characters are encoded and shouldn't be used in anchor fields when DistinguishedNameStyle = MADistinguishedNameStyle.None:

  • '\' is the escape character

  • ',' has special meaning to the store layer

  • '+' separates multiple values in the DN

  • '#' is used to indicate hex encoding of a binary value

  • ' ' - space, only when located at the end of anchor value

  • All control characters with code less than 0x20 (SPACE), except allowed:

    • 0x0 (null)

    • 0x9 (TAB)

    • 0xA (LF)

    • 0xD (CR)

When there is need to support these characters, DistinguishedNameStyle = MADistinguishedNameStyle.Generic should be used.
