Last modified: 2017-03-29 16:28:16 UTC
Hello. FreeBSD 10.1 amd64 Samba 4.1.17 While trying to update Samba3+LDAP domain to Samba4 AD domain got this error: ... ... Sorting rpmd with attid exception 3 rDN=CN DN=CN=bilyak.i,CN=Users,DC=sdr,DC=tld convert_string_talloc: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(▒рина Сергеевна) Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(▒рина Сергеевна) Failed to modify account record CN=bilyak.i,CN=Users,DC=sdr,DC=tld to set user attributes: objectclass_attrs: attribute 'displayName' on entry 'CN=bilyak.i,CN=Users,DC=sdr,DC=tld' contains at least one invalid value! There is a problem in converting russian capital "И" character. Appeared at any field where this character appear.
Hello! Any updates about this issue?
You need to confirm that 'unix charset = utf8' and that your displayName is UTF8 in the existing LDAP server.
Hello Andrew! I have unix charset = utf-8 in my smb.conf Server locale is # locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL= And records in LDAP also in utf-8.
Just tried migration on FreeBSD 11 p8 with samba 4.5.7 from ports. Issue still persist - http://i.imgur.com/AkZUDlO.png Workaround is to temporary change russian И in all records to something else.
if "locale" is utf-8 is not relevant here. Also not utf-8 encoding in the LDAP previous server. Only the "unix charset" setting of smb.conf that was used during classicupgrade matters and I'm quit sure that this was not UTF-8.
