Accentuated characters and ldap error
Last modified: 2002-03-26 19:56:54 UTC
Description of Problem: I found that storing contacts information in an ldap server does not handle international characters (accents) in a proper way. Specifically, writting an accentuated name or surname inside the "Full Name" dialog works ok, but modifying it gives strange characters in the "File as" field. This does not happen in the local contacts folder. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Setup an LDAP backend to store contacts 2. Insert a record with accentuated name or surname 3. Try to modify any field that is used to form the "File as" field. Actual Results: Corruption of the "File as" field Expected Results: Correct modification. How often does this happen? Always Additional Information: I am using slapd version 2.0.23, from the latest debian Woody package. Everything else works OK. Thanks very much for this *great* work :-)
This happens only if the DN contains an accentuated character. If I insert a contact without accentuated characters and later reedit it to include those characters the problems does not happen. Sorry for not finding this before.
