Yes.

Yes, for simple bind. You should test with various SASL bind mechs.

But I'd not recommend to do so because of possible interoperability
problems with LDAP client applications. Bear in mind that everything has
to be done right when the user enters NON-ASCII chars on the keyboard.
You have to test such a scenario very thoroughly with all other
components you want to deploy.

Ciao, Michael.
