Dear Perl LDAP users!
I wonder, if somebody has succeeded to use UTF-8 symbols in DN. Here
and
there it is mentioned, that this is supported. But with my OpenLDAP
v2.4.11 the following command fails and I don't see any reason why.
The
only reason why
Maybe RFC2253 should be used to represent UTF-8 chars?
I also suffer from a limitation, that "email" attribute may only
contain
ASCII chars. For example, I cannot set:
mail: Rudolf Bünger <rbuen...@net.com>
You started by discussing DNs but now you turn to the email attribute.
The mail attribute is defined in schema as caseIgnoreIA5Match which does
mean that its characters must be from the IA5 character set (basically
ASCII)
email headers are also restricted to ascii and non-ascii characters are
encoded using RFC2047
You can get this in perl using encode('MIME-Q', $email)
Having said that, alsthough the descripion of the mail attribute is
"RFC1274: RFC822 Mailbox" I have never seen anyone use the full
mailbox definition in the mail attribute but only addr-spec
most applications I know build the full email mailbox using cn, or
givenName and sn, and mail. So mail would only hold the actual address.
