Hi Alex!

I changed my server.xml configuration, i.e. I added the attributes as described to the java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary list. Unfortunatly, it doesn't work, the binary data is still stored/read out wrong. I checked it with Softerra LDAP Administrator and added an inetOrgPerson entry with a jpegPhoto attribute. Photo was damaged.
I also ran the test case I added to JIRA DIREVE-163, and it failed as well.

Therefore there must be a problem within ApacheDS, or with my configuration skills.

Hmmm I don't think the attribute is being defined as binary within the
configuration file which someone seemed to comment out grrrr!

I just committed 230475 which should fix this issue.  It's a simple
configuration option.  You can add this line straight to your config
file to make sure this problem goes away.  Anyhow here's the DIFF of the
commit:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=230475&view=rev

If you notice the java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary property was
commented out by someone.  When this is set to the list I just put in
your JPEG photo should be just fine.  Let me know if this works.

Thanks,
Alex
