CONFIGURING
By default, the LDAP service uses UTF-8 character encoding when returning results with international characters to LDAP V2 clients. Although the LDAP V2 RFC does not support the use of UTF-8, the default behavior ensures that LDAP V2 clients such as EudoraPro 4.1, which uses UTF-8, can work well with the LDAP service.
About this task
To support LDAP V2 clients that do not use UTF-8, you can change the default encoding to prevent the LDAP service from using UTF-8 character encoding for V2 clients. If you prevent the use of UTF-8 character encoding for LDAP V2 clients, then the LDAP service may sometimes be unable to return results containing international characters to V2 clients that use UTF-8.
Note: The LDAP service always uses UTF-8 character encoding when returning results with international characters to LDAP V3 clients, for example, Microsoft™ Outlook Express® clients and HCL Notes® clients.
Use the following steps to enable or disable the use of UTF-8 character encoding for LDAP V2 clients for the LDAP service running on any server in a domain.
Procedure
1. From the HCL Domino® Administrator, open the server that runs the LDAP service, or a server in the same domain as the one that runs the LDAP service.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. In the navigation pane, expand Directory, then LDAP, and then select Settings.
4. Do one of the following:
