I get entries which are Octet Strings. Is there a ldap function to
convert to the real string ?
Firstly, it looks as though you are using openldap. Your questions
would be better posted on one of the openldap lists.
For good or bad, ldapsearch by default will base64 encode any
non-printable characters.
> python
>>> import base64
>>>
base64.b64decode('Q049TcO2bGxlcixPVT1UZXN0R3JvdXBzLERDPXdpbjIwMDNyMixEQz1ob21l')
'CN=M\xc3\xb6ller,OU=TestGroups,DC=win2003r2,DC=home'
In addition, LDAP uses utf8, so you'll also have to convert the utf8
values to your local charset.
What would I need to do to use the result in a filter for a new query ?

Can I just use the octet string ?
Thank you

I have a program which does an ldap search and then prints the found
attribute values. Thsi works fine for english character sets. But when
the ldap server contains accents or umlauts I get unreadable strings.
How do I convert them ?
Thank you
Markus
