Description

It is possible to send a PDU (A bind request, for instance) that has some Udincode character in the Attribute Type part of a DN :

"ś=śrasulu,dc=example,dc=com"

(sorry, for that Alex

The attribute value is perfectly correct, but the attribute type should not be accepted (Only ASCII are allowed).

Of course, as this attribute is not declared in a Schema, it won't work, but I'm not sure that you can't create a new entry for it in a schema.

I have not yet investigated the whole consequences of this issue, I don't know if it can break the server. (I gonna check)

However, if not, this bug entry will just be a reminder...
