This time, I can't import a single value into one attribute in my directory. The attribute in question is a DirectoryString .

I've narrowed it down to three characters (???), where if I include those in my base64 encoded string I get "#0 invalid per syntax". If I use each individually as the only value in my base64-encoded string, I get the same error. By contrast, if I use [A-Za-z0-9] characters only (base64-encoded) in my value then the ldap value is modified without any difficulties. I haven't tested with every single other character, so there may be more that cause this error. I'm a bit confused as to why this happens. I thought the point of base64-encoding was that we could stuff arbitrary strings in? Or does the fact that they're not UTF8 affect the encoding? Is there a way to ensure that these values will be translated to an appropriate encoding in the initialization and replication process? > > I can ldapmodify this attribute in this entry with a much longer base64-encoded string, so I'm fairly sure I haven't hit a limit on the number of characters. > > > I don't think it is a limit on the number of characters that is causing > the problem. > > > > Error log output with debug level of 1 when I was running ldapmodify: > > > > > > [25/Mar/2010:13:23:04 -0400] -
