the attribute inserted some time in base64 and some time in clearly text
Hi to all,
i have a problem with insert attributes in my ldap.
The attribute are defined in this way:
attributeTypes: ( spadaId-oid NAME 'spadaId' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.
15 SINGLE-VALUE X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
But if i exec many add, the same attribute, are inserted some time encoded in base64, and some time in clearly text.
Can you help me?
I know that my english is far from being perfect, but I hope that you understood the problem
Thanks

If you are viewing the attribute value in LDIF format then values which are in non-ascii format ("SAFE-UTF8-CHAR", as per the RFC) will be in base64 encoded (refer RFC 2849 )
-- RFC 2849 Note-
4) Any dn or rdn that contains characters other than those
defined as "SAFE-UTF8-CHAR", or begins with a character other
than those defined as "SAFE-INIT-UTF8-CHAR", above, MUST be
base-64 encoded. Other values MAY be base-64 encoded. Any
value that contains characters other than those defined as
"SAFE-CHAR", or begins with a character other than those
defined as "SAFE-INIT-CHAR", above, MUST be base-64 encoded.
Other values MAY be base-64 encoded.
8) Values or distinguished names that end with SPACE SHOULD be
base-64 encoded.
