-Err_04149 not a valid escape value in ldap search

Question

I am using Apache directory studio to see LDAP tree structure. In that, I am doing basic search operation to display all sAMAccountNames by below search filter

(sAMAccountName = * ) 

and this search successfully return all object which have sAMAccountName when I escape the special character by \\2a (now my search is (sAMAccountName = \\2a) ) and do the search which returns error like "Error while performing search -Err_04149 not a valid escape value". I expect zero results found message but got error.

(sAMAccountName = \\2a) is not a valid search in Ldap?

Answer 1

In Apache directory studio \\2a is not a valid expression. \2a is enough expression for apache directory studion ldap search.
