Method Details

sanitize

public static String sanitize(String input)

Escapes any special chars (RFC 4515) from a string representing a search filter assertion value. This method should only be applied to LDAP filter search inputs (or other filter inputs) and not for full LDAP validation. For example:

 (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(uniqueMember=INPUT))

In this case, the INPUT would need to be sanitized via this method.

Parameters:

input - The input string.

Returns:

A assertion value string ready for insertion into a search filter string.
