Re: invalid syntax when teletexstring

Nope, base64 is just part of LDIF format, which is only relevant on the
client side.

OpenLDAP does not support the TeletexString syntax.
LDAPv3 requires all strings to be in UTF-8, so there's no reason for OpenLDAP to support TeletexString syntax. 


Such support would
be fragile, since there's no unique mapping from LDAPv3's usual UTF-8
character encoding to TeletexString's T.61 character encoding.
IRIC there are a bunch of conflicting T.61 encoding variants too.

Still, I don't know why that makes it possible to store such a cert,
since certs are binary.  You could file an ITS with a request for
support, and enclose the cert so there will be something to test it
with.

If you base64-encode the string?

Hi,

while trying to store an attribute with syntax DistinguishedName
containing a TeletexString on an OpenLDAP 2.4.23 there are errors in the
normalization process and the attribute cannot be stored due to invalid
syntax (21). A certificate containing such a subjectDN is also not
possible to be stored. Is it possible to deactivate this in this version
of OpenLDAP, for example through configuration or during the compilation?
