International characters fail when renaming an object

[tomnil]

Passing a dn with international characters will successfylly rename the user, but the resulting dn will include encoded characters. As a result the user seems to be unaccessable from the "Active Directory Users and Computers".

v2 behaviour:

Version 2.3.3 correctly renamed the object to CN=Åke,DC=a,DC=b,DC=se.

Code

let client = ldapjs.createClient({ url: URL });
let oldDn = "CN=Test,DC=a,DC=b,DC=se"
let newDn = "CN=Åke,DC=a,DC=b,DC=se"
client.modifyDN(oldDn, newDn, (error: Error | null) => { ... }

Is this a duplicate of #883?

[tomnil]

They're very similar - in the #883 it's about creating objects. This example renames, but the result seems to be the same.

It might have to do with the receiving ldap server if you cannot reproduce. Windows Server 2016 with "forest/domain functional level: 2016"

A workaround is to revert to 2.3.3 where it works as expected.

Please research why your LDAP server is not adhering to the spec and processing encoded DN strings correctly.
