Hi Folks,

I'm using openldap 2.1.17.
At first, I exported contacts from Outlook 2000 to a csv file.
and  now I'm trying to import into the Openldap server.
Several of the contacts have  in Japanese characters(shift-jis).
So, I did a little perl script to encode those characters to utf8 and
base64 in sequence and made
this ldif sample:

dn:: Y249g2WDWINngsWCtyCCsYLqgs0sb3U9U2hhY2hvdSwgbz1vYWtsYXduLGM9SlA=
ou: Shachou
cn:: g2WDWINngsWCtyCCsYLqgs0=
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: officePerson
givenname:: g2WDWINngsWCtw==
sn:: g2WDWINngsWCtw==
mail: xxxx@xxxxx.jp
Comment:: iKSSbYynkqE=

When trying to:
ldapadd -c -D "cn=manager, o=oaklawn, c=JP" -w secret  -f test.ldif

I receive:
adding new entry "cn=テストです これは,ou=Shachou,
o=oaklawn,c=JP" ldapadd: update failed: cn=テストです
これは,ou=Shachou, o=oaklawn,c=JP ldap_add: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid DN

I used code to convert the attribute's values:
     Jcode::convert($val,'utf8');
     $val = encode_base64($val);


Have you tried adding it without converting it, using slapadd instead of ldapadd? My experience was that it would automatically get encoded by the OpenLDAP libraries... But I didn't have any DN's that had high-bit characters.
