Non-English Data
If your data contains accented or non-english characters (ė, , ë) you will
need to convert your LDIF file to UTF-8 before loading it into the directory.
Most Linux distributions provide the iconv utility for this purpose (packaged
in glibc-common on the RedHat distribution).
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename.ldif > filename-utf-8.ldif
where iso-8859-1 (the default Linux 8-bit character set, ASCII superset) is the
source encoding and utf-8 is the output encoding.
The encodings known to iconv can be listed with the iconv --list command.
Most encodings also have their own manual page if you need further
information. Such as “man iso_8859-1”.
