It's simply valid LDIF like Noriko already told you. A double colon 
after attribute type name indicates that you have to base64-decode the 
attribute value. If you want to process LDIF then use a decent LDIF 
parser. This has not necessarily to do with the attribute values. It 
would also be valid data encoded in valid LDIF if all attributes are 
base64-encoded in lines attrType:: attrValue.

No, it's not supposed to be ASCII at least since it contains DNs which 
can be UTF-8. Maybe in your case it's supposed to be ASCII but not in 
general.

Ciao, Michael.
