special characters in passwords + FR + ldap

[Alexei Monastyrnyi]

You can try to log passwords sending to FR by NAS and snoop passwords 
sending by FR to LDAP, + switch on logging on LDAP and check why BIND 
operation between RF and LDAP fails. The bottom line here is that the 
password with spec chars is the same all the way down to LDAP server.
