Problem testing slapd utf-8 support

["Horgan, Allan" <Allan.Horgan@softwareag.com>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem doing an ldap add with utf-8 data.

I'm using openldap 2.0.11, with default configuration on Suse Linux 7.3.

The slapd is running with default configuration.

I've written a test program (a hack of test.c in
...libraries/libldap_r/test.c) to do an ldap add, running on the same
machine, based on same release of openldap.

The following add (ascii only data) succeeds:
dn: cn=SysAd,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn:SysAd
description: System Administrator


The following add fails:
dn: cn=SysAd,dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn:SysAd
description: char hangugo[9] = { 0xEd, 0x95, 0xEA, 0xB5, 0xAD, 0xEC, 0x96,
0xB4, '\0'};

(This word "hangugo", is an example of a Korean word from rfc2279.txt -
utf-8 rfc)

The error message coming back from the slapd server is:
add: Invalid syntax
        additional info: description: value #0 contains invalid data


It seems from going through the serverside code, that it expects this data
to be ascii or it is invalid. I wonder if my LDAP server is set up for 
ascii locale? How would I find this out?

Thanks in advance for any information on this one..
