Re: Bug #3613: ldap_mod_replace does not handle binary values properly

From looking at the ldap.c source code and not having written the ldap module myself it does seem that ldap_modify does not handle binary data. I am including a small paragraph from the ldap_modify man page at the end of this letter which gives a short pointer on what to do with binary data. Parts of the LDAP module actually do seem to work this way so maybe you need to use a different function. I'm Cc'ing the authors of the LDAP module. They might be able to enlighten us on this issue. Andi From the OpenLDAP ldap_modify man page: --- If you need to specify a non-string value (e.g., to add a photo or audio attribute value), you should set mod_op to the logical OR of the operation as above (e.g., LDAP_MOD_REPLACE) and the constant LDAP_MOD_BVALUES. In this case, mod_bvalues should be used instead of mod_values, and it should point to a null-terminated array of struct bervals, as defined in <lber.h>. At 10:18 PM 2/24/00 +0000, rb@odn.de wrote:
