Hello,
I have started a small project to build a mail server, and the
authentication / users list is based on OpenLDAP.
I want to use international characters for the "secondary" email
addresses but and OpenLDAP is complaining about it, as invalid syntax. I
use the field otherMailBox field. I found a make-shift by storing the
email address encoded in base64, but I therefore need to be sure any
client will be able to read these base64 encoded email addresses. So
far, Dovecot is fine, I am not sure yet about Postfix.
Is there any limitation in OpenLDAP that would prevent some fields to be
stored in UTF8 directly? I have noticed that the givenName and surname
are automatically encoded in base64 when containing accents, so is it a
standard practice?
Thanks for your advices.
