can't import a single value into one attribute in my directory. The attribute in

values, but I changed it to DirectoryString and now only this entry is giving me
trouble.)

value #0 invalid per syntax with DirectoryString syntax values usually
means the value is not a valid utf-8 encoded string.

Can you give an example of an LDIF that works with ldapmodify and one
that fails with ldapmodify?
I've narrowed it down to three characters (àôç), where if I include those in my base64
encoded string I get "#0 invalid per syntax". If I use each individually as the
only value in my base64-encoded string, I get the same error.
By contrast, if I use [A-Za-z0-9] characters only (base64-encoded) in my value then the
ldap value is modified without any difficulties. I haven't tested with every single
other character, so there may be more that cause this error.
I'm a bit confused as to why this happens. I thought the point of base64-encoding was
that we could stuff arbitrary strings in? Or does the fact that they're not UTF8
affect the encoding?
Is there a way to ensure that these values will be translated to an appropriate encoding
in the initialization and replication process?

I don't think it is a limit on the number of characters that is causing
the problem.
