Hi,

Found a better solution with the help of my colleagues.   We just had to add , 
raw => qr/(?i:^jpegPhoto|;binary)/ ] to net_ldap_args.

Betreff: [rt-users] RT::Authen:ExternalAuth garbles our beautiful German umlauts

Hi,

Since migrating from MariaDB, CentOs 6 to PostgreSQL, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 
RT::Authen:ExternalAuth garbles our beautiful German umlauts:

[24732] [Wed May 11 13:34:00 2016] [debug]: Calling UserExists with $username 
(horst) and $service (My_LDAP) 
(/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm:465)
[...]
[24732] [Wed May 11 13:34:00 2016] [debug]: Found LDAP DN: CN=Testmäister\, 
Hörst,OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=tracetronic,DC=local 
(/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth/LDAP.pm:221)
[...]
[24732] [Wed May 11 13:34:00 2016] [info]: 
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::CanonicalizeUserInfo returning EmailAddress: , Name: 
horst, RealName: Testmäister, Hörst 
(/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm:868)
[24732] [Wed May 11 13:34:00 2016] [debug]: UPDATED user horst: User horst: 
RealName changed from 'Testmäister, Hörst' to 'Testmäister, Hörst' 
(/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm:665)

I found that when running the value from LDAP through an additional 
$value_from_ldap = decode('utf-8', $value_from_ldap), the value gets 
ungarbled...(see attached patch). Which is an okay workaround for us, but maybe 
you know of a better workaround? Unfortunately my perl foo is not good enough 
to found the root cause of this issue.

Cheers,
