Hello
My ldif file type is UTF-8 as below.
# file test.ldif
test.ldif: UTF-8 Unicode text
The test.ldif content includes Chinese, as below:
# cat test.ldif
dn: cn=行政部,ou=domain,dc=domain,dc=com
cn: 行政部
gidnumber: 500
objectclass: posixGroup
I can add it to the LDAP server. Then excuting this command “# ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b dc=domain,dc=com” , it display as below:
# \E7\94\B0\E5\BF\97\E8\8B\B1, domain, domain.com
dn:: Y24955Sw5b+X6IuxLG91PXRodW5kZXJzb2Z0LGRjPXRodW5kZXJzb2Z0LGRjPWNvbQ==
cn:: 55Sw5b+X6Iux
gidNumber: 500
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
How can I deal with it? Can you help me?
Thanks!!!

It's just base64 encoded. When I decode that it looks fine (though not what you quoted as the original data:
dn: cn=田志英,ou=thundersoft,dc=thundersoft,dc=com cn: 田志英
The :: notation against the attribute in the output is a hint that the value is base64 encoded.

This is just the base64 encoded DN string, decoded it is

Hi ,
Thank you very much.
How can I display chinese in LDAP database, rather than a base64 code?

AFAIK, the data is NOT stored as Base64, and LDAP operations also don't provide BASE64. Only LDIF as an Interchange format uses US-ASCII for representation. If you use some proper LDAP GUI, you can enter (and display) UTF-8 correctly.

Actually the attribute values with LDAP syntax DirectoryString are stored as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. When a client retrieves those via LDAP it will receive the UTF-8 encoding.
But LDIF mandates that every non-ASCII attribute value is formatted with double-colon base64 [1].
