Re: ldapsearch utf-8 results
Hi,
I have noticed the same issue when talking to an AD server (very recent
version, I think 2012 or so). In fact, I think either AD or ldapsearch
is encoding the values values in Base64. I will soon know more because I
will start to use the results in a real app. Maybe we have to decode
them explicitly.
It's easy to do the detection (emcoded or not), as in ldapsearch, the
key is followed by two columns instead of one. Example below:
...
cn:: SGFucyBSw7xja21hbm4=
...
is decoding to Hans Rückmann (hope the mailing list will transport it
correctly, its a U-umlaut after the R).
Regs,
Charles
P.S. tests done with http://www.base64decode.org/

Hello there
I use a Debian 7.4 server with ldapsearch to search data about users
on an Active Directory database.
When a result of a search contains specials characters (such as é, è,
à), no result is given, but if I delete special characters to the user
profile, it works.
How could I make it work with special caracters (guess it's a UTF-8
problem ?) ?
Thanks in advance
Nicolas
