Stefan,

You do know your Japanese.  I started off with Ichiro Susuki and then realized that I 
wasn't sure of the Kanji for Susuki so changed to Honda as I knew this Kanji but I 
forgot to change the English name.

multilanguage NAME LDAP implementations

[Wrobel, Charles C (Chuck)]

Title: multilanguage NAME LDAP implementations







Is anyone aware of a public multilanguage NAME (cn) LDAP implementation?  I'd also appreciate any advice on how to implement a multilingual LDAP directory.  I'm only interested in having the ability to store & retrieve a person's name in a non-Latin script and in a Latin Script.

For example, if the cn & sn used the Latin script


cn: Honda, Ichiro
sn: Honda


it would also be nice to store & retrieve the person's name using a native script such as Japanese.  Thus extending the above and adding some made up attributes this might look like

cn: Susuki, Ichiro
xcn: 本田一路
sn: Honda

xsn: 本田
