Do you mean 'gecos' with that? The 'gecos' attribute from the NIS-schema is an IA5 string [1], which is equal to ASCII. You won't be able to use special characters with that one. > Also for 'displayName', 'cn' and 'givenName' the 'ö' is automatically > replaced by 'oe'. > > If I change the entry in the ldap by hand in the apache DS, the 'ö' is > accepted accept for the geckos. An 'ü' in 'o' is manually accepted to. > How is your ldif file encoded? 'cn', 'givenName' and so on are defined as SUB to 'name', which is defined with "Directory Sting" syntax [2] aka UTF-8.
