> This issue occurs when a path to the ldif directory set via
>     MutableServerStartupConfiguration.setLdifDirectory(File)
> gets resolved on a windows machine. Whatever is enter for the path file seperator in the File argument ('/' or '\') gets resolved to \ on windows which is then considered an escape for a hex sequence. If the next 2 bytes following the file seperator are possible hex values they are interpreted as such leading to an invalid path.
> For example if you used new File("../ldif) and it got resolved to C:\dev\ldif you would see something like the following stack trace.
> This is a blocking issue in my case, but I entered it as a major priority. 
> javax.naming.NamingException: Invalid value : C:?v\ldif\myldif.ldif
