Hi,
As my name contains a german umlaut I do get an error adding 'Götz Reinicke' for the gecko.
Do you mean 'gecos' with that? The 'gecos' attribute from the NIS-schema is an IA5 string [1], which is equal to ASCII. You won't be able to use special characters with that one.
jep 'gecos', typo on my side. I was thinking of something like that. Thanks for making that clear to me :-)
Also for 'displayName', 'cn' and 'givenName' the 'ö' is automatically replaced by 'oe'.
If I change the entry in the ldap by hand in the apache DS, the 'ö' is accepted accept for the geckos. An 'ü' in 'o' is manually accepted to.
How is your ldif file encoded? 'cn', 'givenName' and so on are defined as SUB to 'name', which is defined with "Directory Sting" syntax [2] aka UTF-8.
It's from what my text editor says UTF-8.
But now I do have also the phenomenon, that in the ldap the umlaut is replaced with a wired character and not replaced with 'oe' ....
I think, that the AD Studio makes something 'funny'. May be.
cheers . Götz
