IRIC there are a bunch of conflicting T.61 encoding variants too.
Still, I don't know why that makes it possible to store such a cert,

He said it is *not* possible to store. Certs are binary, but their subject and
issuer DNs are still validated before they're accepted; it's required for the
certificateMatch filter to work.
You could file an ITS with a request for
You've just said in the previous paragraph that such support would be fragile,
so what exactly do you expect us to do here? Remember that we already had a
T.61 <-> UTF-8 mapping function in libldap, and we dropped it since the T.61
encoding is practically random. Multiple variants exist and most of them are
not documented, so there's no way to verify the correctness of any implementation.
Nobody should be using T.61 any more, they should be using UTF-8.
and enclose the cert so there will be something to test it
If you base64-encode the string?

while trying to store an attribute with syntax DistinguishedName
containing a TeletexString on an OpenLDAP 2.4.23 there are errors in the

possible to be stored. Is it possible to deactivate this in this version
of OpenLDAP, for example through configuration or during the compilation?
