WLDAP API ldap_search_sA() fails when filter contains European symbol as double byte character

ldap_search_sa() function uses pchar parameter input fails when pass utf-8 string containing european characters filter.

question1) why happen? is issue/bug?

when convert above filter widechar_t & pass ldap_search_sw() works.

question 2) if use ldap_search_s() openldap works double byte character although filter passed char*. feature not supported microsoft?

example - if pass user char* user = "gσr", strlen(user) 4 since σ taking 2 bytes

this works openldap api accepts char*

thank you
