-----------------------------------------------

At first sorry I was not responding on this. I was off for some time and working on other stuff. 

To be honest I'm little confused about whats working and whats not. Are we talking about what kind of filter and where? Like I posted in forums if I put <value><![CDATA[(&(cn={0})(member=uid=jduke\\\, Duke,ou=People,o=test,dc=portal,dc=example,dc=com))]]></value> in identity-config.xml it works. So I understand that 3 backslashes are proper solution for filter placed there. 

Now for roles resolution I also was able to have it working with ldif I posted in forums. ("member: uid=jduke\, Duke,ou=People,o=test,dc=portal,dc=example,dc=com"). So roles resolution works ok with "strange" user names.

I'm not sure I understand properly what you wrote. 

"The filter is constructed by the code, one would not directly add LastName, FirstName for a filter, or only that specific user would be found."

So are we talking about filter in identity-config.xml or something in code? Mine or yours? :) Sory but this thread is little to long and hard to follow. Could you provide a real testcase for this? Like a short ldif + identity-config.xml I could play with. I'm not sure we are talking about the same things.

> LDAPRoleModule and LDAPExtRoleModule don't find roles associated with users, if the users DN contains a backslash, as it is frequent with Microsoft Active Directory.
> Example logfile excerpts and are given in the forum.
> I added a simple  filter = filter.replaceAll("\\\\", "\\\\\\\\"); in one place in LDAPExtRoleModuleImpl.java which fixed the thing for me. However, not knowing much of java, I don't know the correct place to add this, so that all cases are fixed.
> Thanks
