RE : RE : Non ASCII char in dn?

["Jean-Rene Cormier" <jrclist@cipanb.ca>]

Well finally got it to work. :) It was because when I encoded it UTF-8
it put some weird chars at the beginning of the file I just deleted them
and it worked.

I don't mind having the dn base64 encoded since I'm using LDAP
Administrator and it decodes them for me ;)

Strictly speaking, yes; however slapd works even if you don't; 
but there's a better way to do that, with language tags: you can do

dn: cn=string of <= 127 chars,dc=your,dc=org
cn: string of <= 127 chars
cn;lang-fr: UTF-8 string
...

However slapd should accept UTF-8 in the DN, but in that case you'd
see the dn base64 encoded.  That's the part I don't like.
