I came across the . Database Creation and Maintenance Tools at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/dbtools.html which outlined 2 methods of storing jpegPhoto (towards the end of the documentation). One using base64 encode and the other using location indicated by URL:

   # Bjorn's Entry
   dn: cn=Bjorn J Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
   cn: Bjorn J Jensen
   cn: Bjorn Jensen
   objectClass: person
   sn: Jensen
   # Base64 encoded JPEG photo
   jpegPhoto:: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAAAAAQABAAD/2wBDABALD

   # Jennifer's Entry
   dn: cn=Jennifer J Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
   cn: Jennifer J Jensen
   cn: Jennifer Jensen
   objectClass: person
   sn: Jensen
   # JPEG photo from file
   jpegPhoto:< file:///path/to/file.jpeg

Which is the recommended method? Please advise.

OpenLDAP tools could careless which you used. I recommend you use which ever you find most convenient.
