Use of Binary Attributes

By default, a set of pre-defined LDAP attributes are returned by the API as binary data, encoded to Base-64, for display purposes.

These attributes are defined in the Java environment property java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary. You may have defined other LDAP attributes that you also wish to treat as binary data. If so, you can specify them using the LdapBinaryAttributes property in the de.properties file. Specify these attributes as a list with each attribute separated by a space from the next. For example:

LdapBinaryAttributes = userIdNumber bloodGroup
