Example: LDIF

 

Here is an example of an LDIF file containing three entries.

      dn: cn=John E Doe, o=University of High        er Learning, c=US       cn: John E Doe       cn: John Doe       objectclass: person       sn: Doe 
      dn: cn=Bjorn L Doe, o=University of High        er Learning, c=US       cn: Bjorn L Doe       cn: Bjorn Doe       objectclass: person       sn: Doe 
      dn: cn=Jennifer K. Doe, o=University of High        er Learning, c=US       cn: Jennifer K. Doe       cn: Jennifer Doe       objectclass: person       sn: Doe       jpegPhoto:: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAAAAAQABAAD/2wBDABALD        A4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQ        ERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVG       ...

The jpegPhoto in Jennifer Jensen's entry is encoded using base-64. The textual attribute values can also be specified in base-64 format. However, if this is the case, the base-64 encoding must be in the code page of the wire format for the protocol (that is, for LDAP V2, the IA5 character set and for LDAP V3, the UTF-8 encoding).
