hi Dochelp,

I am interested in the details of the format for conditional ACE SDDL format, which is not really described in [MS-DTYP] (unlike the wire format).

 From the examples, it is clear that it involves double-quote delimiters:

    (Title=="VP")

But how are escapes handled -- how would it handle a string that itself contained a double quote?

In the ABNF there is a thing called "char-string":

    char-string = DQUOTE *(CHAR) DQUOTE

which we can deduce applies to Unicode strings due to the definition of value-array, but this doesn't answer the question. Rather, it expands it, since
RFC5234 says CHAR is 7-bit ASCII only, precluding most Unicode values, so there must be an escaping mechanism for these characters too (unless the use of CHAR is mistaken).

My guess is that Unicode strings the same %hhhh sequence as attr-char2 (encoding the double quote as %0022), but there is no mention of that.

cheers,
Douglas
