Hi:
So, I finally decided to get OpenLDAP set up to serve an address book
independent of where I am and on what computer. The problem is that
unless an attribute value is ascii, values have to be in UTF-8 and
base64 encoded(?), as I could understand from googling.
But, I can't even spell my own name in that encoding!
So question is: How do I most easily populate my directory? Is there a
tool that can convert an iso-8859-1 ldif to utf-8+base64 ldif? Will ldap
queries also have to be encoded UTF-8+base64 as well?
Have I misunderstood the bit about base64, that this is only required
for binary data such as jpeg images?
All documentation I have found tells how easy it is to get data out in
UTF-8 ldif, but I really need to get the data in there first.
Erik,
you can convert the LDIF file with the following command
iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t UTF-8 <filename>
The only thing you need is converters/libiconv from ports.
The base64 encoding is done by the OpenLDAP tools itself.
Hth.
