Hi, Jason! Some input, maybe it helps: To my understanding, UTF8 would encode Ö as \xc3\x96 and Ä as \xc3\x84 "D6" is "214" is the position in ISO8859-1 of the Ouml (Ö).
So, LDAP exported iso8859-1 (or so) I suppose, and not UTF8. (with Mozilla it could be that you use some non-iso translation) Best regards, Michael Am 2002-11-12 4:51 Uhr schrieb "Jason Haar" unter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi there > > I want to generate certs from our internal LDAP server.
