README
This directory contains files with base64 encoded UTF-8.
The operation of converting UTF-8 data to base64 has been done because of issue 2813.
From Matthew :
"If LDIF data containing non-ASCII data is provided to either ldapmodify or import-ldif then the behavior is undefined. Ideally, the tools should "do the right thing" and use either the default character set encoding to decode the values or default to UTF-8 unless otherwise specified via a CLI option. I think I prefer the second option.
This problem is currently being tracked by issue https://opends.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2813.
> In these tests for DSEE, ldif files containing double-byte data converted to UTF-8 are imported (with ldapmodify -a).
> Today, with openDS and taking into account issue 2813, do you think such files can be imported, or do I need to convert them to base64 before, to avoid an 'undefined behavior' ?
I would convert them to base64.
The base64 tool delivered with opends has been used that way :
aconit[sgouvern]$ base64 encode -d "o=�\207ándide Rùiz"
bz3Dh8OhbmRpZGUgUsO5aXo=
-> all the dn must be encoded, not only the value
The format to be used as per the LDIF encoding rules in ldif files is :
dn:: <base-64 encoded DN>
All base64 values in the ldif files in this directory had been converted being in LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 using the following command :
echo "nonAsciiValue\c" | iconv -f 8859-1 -t UTF-8 | base64 encode
base64 being the base64 tool delivered with opends
