Re: LDAP query to Active Directory backend



I finally found the solution to the problem. After I set the
LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION to v3 using ldap_set_option the resulting
characters were encoded in UTF-8. D'Oh! It seems that AD makes a
difference here when other servers assume v3 to be the standard.

I hope to be helping someone with a similar problem to avoid this confusion!
