Description

It seems impossible to perform searches that to use # sign inside. Tried to add them, not escaped, escaped with single or double backslash but none of these approaches worked.

Example

(&(objectClass=group)(displayName=*)(|(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=\\#SOME,OU=Groups,OU=EMEA,DC=example,DC=net)))
(&(objectClass=group)(displayName=*)(|(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=\#SOME,OU=Groups,OU=EMEA,DC=example,DC=net)))
(&(objectClass=group)(displayName=*)(|(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=#SOME,OU=Groups,OU=EMEA,DC=example,DC=net)))
