I second this. Remember, because CF is "typeless", when it tries to write to output binary in the <cfldap> tage, it might be expecting a string, not binary. How they've chosen to output the attributes, I don't know, but that might cause it to fail.
I would double (triple?) check that the data sent through LDAP is, in fact, binary or encoded (base64 or hex or uuencode, etc). I wouldn't use a tool to do that as it might be altering results. Rather, try a packet sniffer to see what the actual contents are. If it's encoded, your life will be easier. If not, then you're probably going to have to investigate some Java-based alternative. My experience: I wanted a way to compress data. Specifically, I thought there should be a way to feed data through a CF function and get a compressed result. Since there's nothing that does it natively, I turned to Java. Java has a native GZipDataStream - very slick. The trouble was getting the data from CF -- it could only come and go as a "String". I ended up requiring it to be base64 encoded to and from, and decode it once it was inside Java. (now I have a tag that will compress a datastream without writing to disk. I use it for squashing wddx packets for storage in a database) I think it was the "interface" they've written for custom CFX that's the limiter. -----Original Message----- From: Dinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: LDAP Anyone? On a totally different note: Why not use some java solution? I bet you could even do something along the lines of cfmail, where CF has javamail (iirc), which totally rocks, but of which CF exposes only a tiny bit. Find what CF uses for LDAP, research it, and call it yourself using createObject(), if even just for the image upload stuff. Whenever I've run into a problem like that (IMAP stuff, in my case), I've found using the underlying java will do what CF couldn't, if in fact CF can't. HIH, and if you have questions about how to leverage some java package, feel free to ask. Maybe jldap ( openldap.org)? Eh... Force be with you!
