This is not a bug, so please post to the openldap-software list
if you need help.  Otherwise it's like calling the firefighters
because somebody broke into your house.

In short, LDAPv3 uses UTF-8 as character encoding, so
you can't provide any charset you like.  You need to convert
your strings to UTF-8 encoding.  On Linux, you may use
iconv(1), or whatever conversion tool that can handle
encoding from and to your preferred charset.

But please, continue this discussion on openldap-software.
