Thanks.  I was able to get that to work.  I had to Base64 decode all the
lines and then I converted the file to UTF-8.

Thanks,

I have a similar problem with characters in spanish like í or ñ.

What I've done, and it works ok, is to convert to UTF8 with:

cat entry.ldif | iconv -t UTF-8 > entry2.ldif

I haven't made any changes to my schema, so I don't really know which one
I'm using.  I guess the UTF-8 one

hope it helps,

Andres

I am attempting to import a LDIF file into openLdap 2.0.  The LDIF file has
the proper format. Some of the entries are base64 encoded because they
contain non-english characters like ë.  What schema type will support these
characters?  I have tried the following types:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 UTF-8 string
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ASCII String

Any ideas?

Thanks,
