Base64 encoded attributes

[Glenn W. B. <gl...@ca...>]

I am doing a search:

   ldap_obj.search_s(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, search)

and I find that the base64 encoded attributes are not returning. They return just fine in 
php and with openldap's ldapsearch, but are absent with python-ldap with the command 
above. Is there a mechanism by which I can retrieve the base64 encoded attributes?

Thanks.

Glenn

python-ldap uses the api directly, and there's no need for base64-encoded=
=20
attribute values. use utf-8 directly as its the way ldap stores its data =
anyways.

It would help for later reference, if you also stated the value of base_d=
n and search
next time.=20

I'm actually not encoding the attribute values, Fedora Directory is, =20
so I'm just trying to find a way to deal with it. I'm just trying to =20
find out how to get the values in any form so I can work with them. =20
The return object does not contain the encoded values at all.

My current search base is:
  base_dn =3D ou=3D<groupname>,o=3Dcaltech,c=3Dus

The search can be anything and it gives the same problem. For example

  search =3D '(uid=3D<usename>)'

Thanks for responding.
