When reading the information stored about one entry using LDAP, I do something like this:
executing the search to find the entry: ldap_search( )
waiting for results with ldap_result( )
getting the first entry ldap_first_entry( )
looping through all attributes returned, using ldap_first_attribute and ldap_next_attribute
for each attribute, I read the values, using ldap_get_values
Almost all attributes are readable strings, but some are ASN.1 strings, which look like this
"{ASN}...Here.follows.lots.of.unreadable.text...".
How can I decode these?
I guess I must use some of the functions in the BER-library, but before I go to the trouble of
trying and failing, I ask for advice from this list.
