Hello all, When users have some french characters code in fields (i.e. givenName & cn), the ldif export file is bad. Here my ldif users import file and the ldif export file using admin console.

import-with-french-char.ldif :

dn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr changetype: add objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalperson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: mailrecipient uid: s.courtin sn: COURTIN givenName: Ségolène cn: Ségolène COURTIN employeeType: Etudiants userPassword: ****** mail: s.courtin@domain.fr

export-bad.ldif:

dn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr employeeType: Etudiants givenName:: U8OpZ29sw6huZQ== objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalperson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: mailrecipient uid: s.courtin mail: s.courtin@domain.fr cn:: U8OpZ29sw6huZSBDT1VSVElO sn: COURTIN userPassword: ********* creatorsname: cn=manager modifiersname: cn=manager createtimestamp: 20050814113424Z modifytimestamp: 20050814113424Z nsuniqueid: 4ced0081-1dd211b2-80efc6a3-3b060000 parentid: 4 entryid: 1874 entrydn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr numsubordinates: 0 subschemasubentry: cn=schema hassubordinates: FALSE

If I use "cn: Segolene COURTIN" & "givenName: Segolene", the export file is correct ... but I would use french char.

Is there a bug or (probably) a configuration error ? For information my FDS is running on FC3 with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8.

Thanks in advance for your help.

• Lalas -

This is normal. See RFC 2849.
