This looks like some application-side munging of the DN, like e.g. a Python string-representation of the Unicode character entities. Sending this string to any LDAP server out there will not work. Python 3.8.6 (default, Nov 09 2020, 12:09:06) >>> 'CN=mithun,OU=Groupes de S\u00e9curit\u00e9,DC=insaaadev,DC=net' 'CN=mithun,OU=Groupes de Sécurité,DC=insaaadev,DC=net' >>> Ciao, Michael.
