omldapsync: Problem with german umlauts

[zollikofer]

Hi

I successfully configured omldapsync with Windows 2003 AD.

The problem arises, when I start to sync a user with german umlauts in his name:

>>>>>>>>SOAP Response
SOAP part:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>CAA Service Error</faultstring>
<detail>
<scalix-caa:fault-details xmlns:scalix-caa="http://www.scalix.com/caa">
<message>omaddu : [OM 16078] An attribute's value contains invalid characters. :s04ct.xx</message>
<errorcode>OM 16078</errorcode>
</scalix-caa:fault-details>
</detail>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

There where a lot of users with german umlauts, so change the users on AD is not a solution for me.

Please help me..
Thanks and regards
Tobias

Hi,

from the looks of it, it has nothing to do with umlauts. Please post the complete SOAP error message and the relevant part from sync.log

Thanks,

Sascha.

Thanks, Tobias

Please send the unobscured SOAP to support at scalix.com.

Also, what agreement type are you using?

Thanks,

Sascha.

Hi,
this looks like a LANG variable mismatch between the extracted data and the executed om* commands.
omldapsync/omldaputil will run with your configured environment, RES/UM will use "en_US.UTF-8" by default.

Can you try this:

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 omldapsync yourpreferredoptions

Hi,

after I did RTFRN (thx, Florian ;-) the following info might be relevant

omldapsync fails to create a new Scalix mailbox for an Active Directory user that has accented characters in their friendly name.

Use a mapping table entry that includes the custom map function:

!CUSTOM=TX_IA_TO_QP_IA

For example:
mail|INTERNET-ADDR|*,1,512|!CUSTOM=TX_IA_TO_QP_IA

The result is that:'"cömmënt" <ia>' becomes '=?UTF8?Qc=C3=B6mm=C3=ABnt?= <ia>'

Cheers,

Sascha.
