Specifying an attribute that includes a comma or semicolon

LDAP attribute values can contain commas. The cfldap tag normally uses commas to separate attribute values in a value list. Similarly, an attribute can contain a semicolon, which cfldap normally uses to delimit (separate) attributes in an attribute list. To override the default separator and delimiter characters, you use the cfldap tag separator and delimiter attributes.

For example, assume that you want to add the following attributes to an LDAP entry:

cn=Proctor, Goodman, and Jones 
description=Friends of the company; Rationalists

Use the cfldap tag in the following way:

<cfldap action="modify" 
    modifyType="add" 
    attributes="cn=Proctor, Goodman, and Jones: description=Friends of the company; 
        Rationalists" 
    dn="uid=goodco, ou=People, o=Airius.com" 
    separator="&" 
    delimiter=":" 
    server=#myServer# 
    username=#myUserName# 
    password=#myPassword#>
