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 IBM® 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 IBM 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:

• If you see the message Unable to locate a Server Configuration document for this domain. Would you like to create one now? click Yes, then click the LDAP tab on the document that is created.
• If you do not see this prompt, click Edit LDAP Settings.

• Yes (default) to use UTF-8 character encoding for LDAP V2 clients.
• No to prevent the use of UTF-8 character encoding for LDAP V2 clients.
