Hi

We are trying to create a search page with java. For the most people it works
fine. But for people who have international letters like é (e with an accent)
the problem occurs with LDAPEntry.getDN().
It seems to stop the network communication.

The use who have the problem is named annie stahél
When I try to use LDAPEntry.getDN() is only returns cn=Annie Stah
where it is supposed to return something like cn=cn=Annie Stahél +
Email=[e-mail], ou=Employees, o=Copenhagen Business School, c=DK

We made another entry without the é(accent e) it returns
cn=Annie Stahel + Email=[e-mail], ou=Employees, o=Copenhagen Business
School, c=DK
Like it should.

I tried to use the LDAP client in Netscape and in the overview it returns
something like Annie Stah|l, when i look at the properties it returns this

Annie Stah

java virtual machine is 1.1.4 on windows NT

LDAPv3 requires that strings be stored with UTF8 encoding.
