LDAP Coding??

Hi (lukeh?)!

Why does my LDAP server deny the following request?

ldapmodify sends this IA== (base64 for blank) as '04 01 20' according
to ethereal.

If I have a non-base64 value, say 'xxx', in 'profilePath' this works
perfecly fine.

This is a standard debian woody, so I have slapd 2.0.23.

I'm still seeing this as my error, or could this also be an OpenLDAP
bug?

Thanks!

Volker
