adding binary attribute using python-ldap
Hi, I was wondering if there is any way I can add binary data (such as jpegPhoto and userCertificate) using python-ldap. I've googled but coudn't find any solution. If there is no way of doing it, what is the best alternative solution? Thanks and Regards, Rahul. -- http://rahul.amaram.name - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Since python-ldap does not treat Unicode objects differently at the moment any attribute value passed to a LDAPObject method is passed on in LDAP requests as is.

Re: adding binary attribute using python-ldap
Hi Michael, Thanks for the response. I think I found the reason for the error. It seems to be necessary to append ";binary" to the attribute name while adding/modifying binary attributes. So for instance if I am adding/modifying userCertificate, I will have to use the attribute name "userCertificate;binary". Else you are likely to get an undefined attribute / binary transfer failed error. Regards, Rahul.
