The REST API does not seem to work with SWIS URIs that contain a backslash ("\"). This shows up with Orion users linked to AD users/groups.
Using the PowerShell interface, (which apparently relies on SOAP) I can get-swisobject on "swis://x/Orion/Orion.Accounts/AccountID=DOMAIN\USER" (where DOMAIN\USER is an AD domain & user/group that has been granted access to NPM).
Using the REST interface, I get a navigation property error. I've tried this using both Perl REST::Client and Chrome with the same result. I've tried various combinations of quoting and escaping, but no luck. It appears that the REST service is incorrectly converting the backslash to a forward slash and interpreting it as a navigation property filter.
