Got a shot at it! i am using a Criticalpath Meta directory server to push the values. so in my customised perl script extension, I only converted the string to UTF8 using perl SimpleUTF8 APIs and then pushed this to the destination.
You were right, I didn't require to convert the value to base64. Just converting it to UTF8 was sufficient in this case. Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org> Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 8:17 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Base64 UTF8 non-ascii value not pushed properly into AD Hi Mayuresh, What API or tool are you using to add the data to AD? The only time in know you use base64 for binary data is with LDIF. I have no idea why your string below is getting mangled, but if you could provide more details again about how you pushed the data into AD, that would be helpful.

I am sending this as I have done some more testing on this. Please take your own time while answering. I dont intend to push you for this. I created a new attribute in AD "azsite" of type "Unicode string" and flown the value "xSÖDERTÄLJE - GÄRTUNA" but it is flown as "xSDERTLJE - GRTUNA" Is there any other syntax other than Unicode String that i should use to display? I am using a base84 conversion of the non-ascii to push the value into AD.
