No!

It's base64-encoded in LDIF but not when sending it directly via LDAP to the 
server or retrieving it via LDAP.

No!

';binary' is transfer-encoding for LDAP which is a different thing and 
definitely not needed for jpegPhoto. '::' is LDIF notation. Both are 
completely independent.

Please avoid confusion!
