User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.18 (20081105) I'm working in Japan. I would like to look-up addresses in my company's Active Directory. The problem is, the relevant "Base DN" has Japanese text in it. When I try to put it in the "Base DN" field of the configuration dialog box, it looks fine, but after I click okay, then try to open the dialog again, all the fields have become empty. E.g.: OU=車載,OU=裾野,OU=管理,DC=department1,DC=local Alternatively, if I try a shorter variation of the Base DN, it will clear the Base DN to simply "OU=" and leave the other fields intact. E.g.: OU=管理,DC=department1,DC=local I can do look-ups of the LDAP server just fine using the following Java tool: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/applet/applet.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new LDAP Directory in the address book window 2. Fill out various details in the fields. 3. For the "Base DN" field, enter: OU=車載,OU=裾野,OU=管理,DC=department1,DC=local 4. Click okay. 5. Double-click on the LDAP directory just created. Observe that most fields have been blanked. Alternatively: 3. For the "Base DN" field, enter: OU=管理,DC=department1,DC=local 4. Click okay. 5. Double-click on the LDAP directory just created. Observe that the Base DN field only contains "OU=". Actual Results: Resulting LDAP directory lookup fields are blank, or the Base DN field is truncated. Expected Results: LDAP Directory configuration fields should contain text as entered.
