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
