```
public static String sanitize(String input)
```
    Escapes any special chars (RFC 4515) from a string representing a search filter assertion value. This method should only be applied to LDAP filter search inputs (or other filter inputs) and not for full LDAP validation. For example:
    (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(uniqueMember=INPUT))
    In this case, the INPUT would need to be sanitized via this method.
    Parameters:
    
    input - The input string.
    
    Returns:
    
    A assertion value string ready for insertion into a search filter string.
