Subject: LDAP username special char Problem

Hi,

today i followed this scenario:

a user tried to connect to Windows 2000 ActiveDirectory trough LDAP, and misspelled the loginname like :

us?rname or us?rname  (with special char like  `  or ^ or  ? )

and is succesfully connected ! 

is this a known "feature" or problem ?

i reproduced it with php ldap functions and with Softerra LDAP Browser 

greetings

jakob
