I am trying to add a binary file to an custom atrribute (switemdata). I tried two things: 1. converting the binary file to UTF-8 using ldif.exe; 2. using the "-b" flag with an entry in the LDIF, like switemdata: 3_0_25.img
I get an error on both of them: >modifying entry cn=sBox_3_0_25,ou=Firmwares,ou=Cos,o=ldap.sofaware.com >ldap_modify: Can't contact LDAP server Here is the LDIF file: dn: cn=sBox_3_0_25,ou=Firmwares,ou=Cos,o=ldap.sofaware.com changetype: modify replace: switemdata switemdata:: 7ASvFaoIB1UoAAAA9wAAAPBYOQACAAUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiAGjzgBVon CABAAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GgC62RsAABC6QAAYu0AAAAAABgAAQgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgAAEIAAAAAGAAAQgDwBUAigAQ8INCE ZDKoBAwAAAAATAECCAAAAAAAaBtAfAB7M3wAGiQJAHoTOAAaJBIAehNFgBo8VEVaZyHQWwMAAFqP >snip................. The encoded portion is about 3.5MB. The interesting thing is if the encoded value is one line or two, it works. I also tried a third method os using "switemdata: < file: 3_0_25.img" with ldapmodify excluding the "-b" flag. Strangly enough, it encodes the binary, but only adds one line to the attribute value. Has anyone uploaded a file larger than 3MB to iDS 5.1? The system is W2k. Any input is appreciated. Sia
