Andrew, Matthieu,
I noticed that Matthieu updated the LDAP representation blob and the SAMR network capture that shows the UTF16 string in SamrSetInformationUser in the bug (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8077). Could you tell us the exact steps you used to do the testing ? The product team needs that to have the same repro for the investigation.
Thanks!
Hongwei

The key point that seems to be brushed over here is: how is this 'not UTF8' string in LDAP translated into and from the representation sent over SAMR (which appears to be UTF16)?
For example, please explain how the values seen in this bug get translated between each other. At a first glance, the translation does indeed appear to be that between UTF16 and UTF8, so if they are not
UTF16 and UTF8 strings, what are they, and what defines the translation?
