Sorry Brad, I really understand the main problem, but again: the hardcoded
language/charset assignments are bad. There should be the possibility for
the admin to assign it by himself. For example, there are several
possibilities to use a charset for cyrillic characters. The (apache) docs
use koi8-r and not iso-8859-5, for instance. I think, this could be a
directive like "LDAPAssignLanguageCharset lang charset" (perhaps not so
long name) or an external file similar to mod_mime's TypesConfig.
Otherwise my opinion is: mod_auth_ldap is experimental ;-) It's worth to
try out and see what results and problems are coming further.
