There are methods for storing binaries/images in a database field. You could also convert the binary information to text, then store the text in a database.
You could do something similar with LDAP. Just create a new attribute that can hold a large text value. Treat your LDAP server just like you would a database. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Vince Collins (NHJobs.com) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 3:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: LDAP Anyone? It appears from the lack of response on this mail list to my question that none of you have any idea. I'm bummed and feel now I must look elsewhere besides ColdFusion to solve this problem. I will post this one last time in the hopes that someone will respond with an idea or suggestion: - - - - - - - - I have been asked to write a web-based editor to allow users to edit individual attributes themselves directly. I have done this and it is working for text attributes however it is not working for images. I have written the code to upload and READASBINARY the file. Then when putting the new file back into ldap I use jpegPhoto=#toBase64(BinaryImageContent)# which I was told that images for LDAP were stored in base64 (Let me know if I'm wrong) but it appears to not work for me. Is there some sort of switch you pass to LDAP when your code is updating an image attribute to somehow flag it as a binary attribute? I've been looking for an answer and have posted questions on more then 20 forums and blogs over the past week. You all may have detected that I am a bit frustrated and desperate :( <cffile action="READBINARY" file="#root#\update\upload\#file.serverfile#" variable="BinaryImageContent"> <cfldap action="modify" DN="#qry_get_one_emp.distinguishedName#" attributes="jpegPhoto=#toBase64(BinaryImageContent)#" modifytype="replace" server="#LDAPServer#" username="#LDAPUsername#" password="#LDAPPassword#"> Changing this attributes="jpegPhoto=#toBase64(BinaryImageContent)#" to this attributes="jpegPhoto=#BinaryImageContent#" also errors since it appears that CFLDAP or http does not allow you to use binary directly in the call. - - - - - - - I'm at a loss and looking for any help possible. I really don't want to tell my client that ColdFusion can not do this. I'd much rather say that I didn't know how and the ColdFusion community were able to help me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
