OSUser LDAP authentication fails when there is a slash ("/") in DN

LDAP password verification fails when the DN contains a slash character:

Nov 19, 2007 8:36:05 AM com.opensymphony.user.provider.ldap.LDAPCredentialsProvider authenticate
SEVERE: Initial connect and search successful, but second phase connection to LDAP provider 'Domain' as '"CN=John Doe,OU=B/C Development,OU=Operations Department,OU=GreenCat,OU=GreenCat Group",dc=domain' failed.
javax.naming.InvalidNameException: "CN=John Doe,OU=B/C Development,OU=Operations Department,OU=GreenCat,OU=GreenCat Group",dc=domain: close quote appears before end of component
at javax.naming.NameImpl.extractComp(NameImpl.java:129)
at javax.naming.NameImpl.<init>(NameImpl.java:267)
at javax.naming.CompositeName.<init>(CompositeName.java:214)

This issue is probably equal to JRA-13470
