60.2.4 LDAP Internationalization

The SXEmacs LDAP API provides basic internationalization features based on the LDAP v3 specification (essentially RFC2252 on "LDAP v3 Attribute Syntax Definitions"). Unfortunately since there is currently no free LDAP v3 server software, this part has not received much testing and should be considered experimental. The framework is in place though.

Function: ldap-decode-attribute attr

Decode the attribute/value pair attr according to LDAP rules. The attribute name is looked up in ldap-attribute-syntaxes-alist and the corresponding decoder is then retrieved from ldap-attribute-syntax-decoders’ and applied on the value(s).
