Hello all, When users have some french characters code in fields (i.e. givenName & cn), the ldif export file is bad. Here my ldif users import file and the ldif export file using admin console. import-with-french-char.ldif : dn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr changetype: add objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalperson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: mailrecipient uid: s.courtin sn: COURTIN givenName: S?gol?ne cn: S?gol?ne COURTIN employeeType: Etudiants userPassword: ****** mail: s.courtin at domain.fr export-bad.ldif: dn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr employeeType: Etudiants givenName:: U8OpZ29sw6huZQ== objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalperson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: mailrecipient uid: s.courtin mail: s.courtin at domain.fr cn:: U8OpZ29sw6huZSBDT1VSVElO sn: COURTIN userPassword: ********* creatorsname: cn=manager modifiersname: cn=manager createtimestamp: 20050814113424Z modifytimestamp: 20050814113424Z nsuniqueid: 4ced0081-1dd211b2-80efc6a3-3b060000 parentid: 4 entryid: 1874 entrydn: uid=s.courtin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=fr numsubordinates: 0 subschemasubentry: cn=schema hassubordinates: FALSE If I use "cn: Segolene COURTIN" & "givenName: Segolene", the export file is correct ... but I would use french char. Is there a bug or (probably) a configuration error ? For information my FDS is running on FC3 with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. Thanks in advance for your help. - Lalas -
