Hello !

Thanks for the reply!
Even I did a search for my entry in that server - Four11 (which I am sure
does not contain any binary data), I still got "decoding error".
Interesting enough, I haven't found this kind of problem when using the
same client to perform same search against other public servers other than
Four11.  And more,  my stand-alone (not web application) DID get some
results from Four11!  What is Four11 doing???!!!  Any ideas? Or guesses?

Thanks again!

A decoding error following a SEARCH in essence means that LDAP is unable to
decode the ASN.1 in the chain of returned results. This is
unlikely
to be the fault of the LDAP client it is more likely that the LDAP server
is
encoding the results incorrectly. Since 'cn', 'mail' and 'telephone' are
all
straight forward strings they cannot be the problem. Do any of the
potential
responses contain any 'binary' data ??
