Hi,

Is there any reason for not amend the LDIF RFC to accept utf-8 chars without base64 encoding ?

It seems that most LDAP servers and LDIF APIs are happy to import LDIF files containing non-base64 encoded utf-8 characters already, and base64 renders the LDIF file unreadable for humans.

Is there a catch, something I am missing that would make it not work ?
Or, is LDIF just not used any more, in favour of DSML or something else ?

Thanks.
