validate user login and pwd - cn with space

Base on the sample IDirEntries (use NWIDIRE.DLL), I modify it and make a 
for loop to validate a list of user CN and password. if login success, the 
username and password pair is valid. 

But if the value of CN contains space, the program cannot validate the 
pair in eDirectory. 

How can I do to escape space in CN so as to validate all CN with space 
successfully in eDirectory?

can you please explain a bit more what exacly you're doing and what error 
you're getting? Best with a sample code? 
Susan did kindly a quick test, but couldnt reproduce your issue:

I don't get an error and dstrace with +auth and +ldap shows me this:

New cleartext connection 0x8b3edee0 from 192.168.0.9:2909, monitor = 0xde,
