I'd think it's not relevant for LDAP, because: 1) DNS originally was ASCII based with only a limited set of characters allowed, while LDAP allows UTF-8, a wider character set. So basically just use the name you like. 2) IDN support (AFAIK) just translates "special characters" to ASCII when querying the servers, and the ASCII response is translated back. Not needed for LDAP. > I've been perusing IETF documents and all I could find was a couple of > expired drafts, 18 and 20 years old, pertaining the topic. > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hall-ldap-idn/ > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zeilenga-ldap-idn/ > > Does anyone have more information on the topic and maybe on why those drafts > went nowhere? Maybe explain what you actually want to do? Otherwise I'd suggest "RFC 3491: IDN Nameprep". Regards, Ulrich > > Thanks in advance, > Fulvio Scapin
