Allow binary/base64 attribute type inputs #3

Closed tlater-famedly closed 2 months ago

tlater-famedly commented 3 months ago

LDAP supports encoding attributes as base64 according to this spec: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=ldif-rfc-2849-input

Such values are marked by having two : instead of just the one in LDAP server output. We must assert that we support this, as clients use this.

We should implement tests to ensure this is handled appropriately.

@nikzen notes that openldap supports this simply by supplying base64 encoded values. We need to figure out how ldap3 interacts with this and write a test for it, at least.

Yep, turns out we don't currently support this, but @emgrav notes ldap3 does support these values, it just keeps them in a separate struct field.
