Hi, we've checked that. The problem we're having is when we try to correct the entry using any client. We'd delete the entry, then try to re-add it; checking for the trailing space. Then when we go to look at the entry again, the attribute has the trailing space, and in ldapsearch comes back as base64. It's a uniqueMember attribute so it's supposed to be ascii. It's perplexing.
