I can't offer any help with LDAP, but if your LDAP server can receive
data in another way, you can use binaryEncode(data, ["hex","base64"]).

Subject: CFLDAP uploading Image (binary)

I've hit a wall and have a question.

I have been able to write a form that allows the updating of all text 
fields within the LDAP directory using cfldap.  What I need now is to 
provide the ability to upload an image and store that within LDAP.

Here is where it breaks.
  <!--- upload file --->
  <cffile action="upload" filefield="seljpegPhoto" 
destination="#root#\update\upload" nameconflict="makeunique">
  <!--- read file as binary --->
  <cffile action="READBINARY" 
file="#root#\update\upload\#file.serverfile#"
variable="BinaryImageContent">
  <!--- Replace with new image --->
  <cfldap action="modify"
           DN="#qry_get_one_emp.distinguishedName#"
           attributes="jpegPhoto=#BinaryImageContent#"
           modifytype="replace"
           server="#LDAPServer#"
           username="#LDAPUsername#"
           password="#LDAPPassword#">

The resulting error:  "ByteArray objects cannot be converted to
strings."

If I change the above to
  attributes="jpegPhoto=#ToBinary(BinaryImageContent)#"
it is redundant and causes the same error.

Is there some switch I am missing or something else I need to do in 
order to let CFLDAP know this is binary and to allow the update?  I have

found NO information on how to upload a binary object into LDAP using 
CFLDAP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Vince
