[imp] Charsets and LDAP

[Robert Marchand]

Hi,

     the cvs should support UTF-8 by now,

     You have to add a parameter (encoding) to the configuration of the 
LDAP server in
     turba/config/source.php:

Here is an example:

$cfgSources['Bottin_UdeM'] = array(
     'title' => 'Bottin UdeM - complet',
     'type' => 'ldap',
     'params' => array(
         'server' => '<put your server name here>',
         'port' => 389,
         'root' => 'ou=PEOPLE,dc=UMontreal,dc=CA',
         'encoding' => 'utf8',
         'objectclass' => 'person',
         'filter' => 'indic_public=o'
         ),
      ...


I know it works in the main search panel.  I have not tested in the IMP 
expand stuff.

Bye.
