Description

If we try to parse such an entry :

dn:: Y249RW1tYW51ZWwgTMOpY2hhcm55LCBkYz1leG1hcGxlLCBkYz1jb20=
ObjectClass: top
objectClass: person
cn:: RW1tYW51ZWwgTMOpY2hhcm55
sn: elecharny

simply fail when we use a Schema aware LdifReader. At some point, the cn AttributeType value is considered as binary, and the Attribute.add( byte[] ) method refuse to inject the value.

Not sure if it's not a problem with the LdifParser which does not detect that the cn value is a String and not a byte[].
