The jpegPhoto in Jennifer Doe's entry is encoded using base-64. The textual attribute values can also be specified in base-64 format. However, if this is the case, the base-64 encoding must be in the code page of the wire format for the protocol (that is, for LDAP V2, the IA5 character set and for LDAP V3, the UTF-8 encoding).
