in reply to Re^4: Need help on Net::LDAP
in thread Need help on Net::LDAP
It actually comes from rfc2849:
The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) - Technical Specification:
4) Any dn or rdn that contains characters other than those defined as "SAFE-UTF8-CHAR", or begins with a character other than those defined as "SAFE-INIT-UTF8-CHAR", above, MUST be base-64 encoded. Other values MAY be base-64 encoded. Any value that contains characters other than those defined as "SAFE-CHAR", or begins with a character other than those defined as "SAFE-INIT-CHAR", above, MUST be base-64 encoded. Other values MAY be base-64 encoded.
So since we have
{crypt}the
{triggers the base64 encoding if you slapcat the Directory data out into LDIF. it has nothing to do with whom or what added the {crypt} data to the directory in the first place.
