NOTE: **Note:**
The `encryption` value `ssl` corresponds to 'Simple TLS' in the LDAP
library. `tls` corresponds to StartTLS, not to be confused with regular TLS.
Normally, if you specify `ssl` it will be on port 636, while `tls` (StartTLS)
would be on port 389. `plain` also operates on port 389.

### Escaping special characters
If the `user_filter` DN contains special characters. For example, a comma:
```
OU=GitLab, Inc,DC=gitlab,DC=com
```
This character needs to be escaped as documented in [RFC 4515](https://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4515).
Due to the way the string is parsed, the special character needs to be converted
to hex and `\\5C\\` (`5C` = `\` in hex) added before it.
As an example the above DN would look like
```
OU=GitLab\\5C\\2C Inc,DC=gitlab,DC=com
```
