Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00039399
  PB / PB
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender JNDI adapter user that
  requires LDAP output results to match a specific encoding.
  
  Problem Description:
  The JNDI Adapter does not return the same character encoding as
  that contained on the LDAP Server.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• The JNDI Adapter can now be configured to return a particular
  character encoding.  After looking up an LDAP entry, the Adapter
  will consult the JVM to determine if the system property,
  adapter.m4jndi.output_charset, contains a desired encoding.  If
  so, then the output results of any LDAP searches will be
  returned in this specific encoding.  When the system property is
  not set, the results are encoded in the default JVM platform
  encoding, which is now logged in the Adapter trace file for
  reference purposes.
