RE: multi-byte utf8 characters in DNs

...

[I tried searching the docs for the answer without much luck, so apologies if I've missed it] Does openldap (2.4.26) support DNs containing utf8 multi-byte characters? e.g. a DN containing é like cn=été,dc=a,dc=b ? If not, what's the recommended way of handling such DNs? Chris

Take a look at RFC 4514 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4514.txt?number=2253) (Page 4 should be your answer)

I've tried that but I get an invalid DN error back from slapd (and the slapdn program) if I replace é by \c3\a9 in the DN.

slapdn -f testrun/slapd.1.conf 'cn=\c3\a9' DN: <cn=\c3\a9> check succeeded normalized: <cn=é> pretty: <cn=é>

git master of 10 minutes ago; what version are you using?
