LDAP search results encoded as UTF-8

Description 

Non-ACSII chars to not show up correctly in the LDAP
search results. Our OpenLDAP server seems to send
results encoded as UTF-8. RoundCube just outputs this
into the ISO-8859-1 HTML page, which obviously cannot work.

I´ve been able to solve the problem by replacing this line

$contacts[$n]['name']   =
$result[$n][$server['name_field']][0];

with this

$contacts[$n]['name']   =
utf8_decode($result[$n][$server['name_field']][0]);

I don´t know whether all LDAP servers return search
results as UTF-8, so maybe this should be made
configurable or somehow auto-detected.

The problem affects more than just the LDAP results. For
example special characters (those who are represented with
more than one byte in UTF-8) were mangled in the email
messages, too.

The solution ist to configure your webserver to send the as
UTF-8 to the browsers. I do not understand why RoundCube
does not do this with a simple call to the PHP header()
function. We´ve now configured our Apache to send the UTF-8
header:

AddDefaultCharset utf-8

  • Resolution changed from None to fixed
  • Severity set to critical

Should be fixed with new LDAP integration.
