I noticed this happened to my user which has an "ö" in the Full name field.

I noticed this happened to my user which has an "ö" in the Full name field.

Very weird. I had a quick look through the code and there doesn't seem to be any explicit points in the code where an ascii encode/decode operation is performed.

Can you try using the ldap3 library directly with the same user credentials? It could be an issue in ldap3 rather than this library.

Closing this issue due to inactivity.

Also, just a side note: after a long internal debate, I have made the difficult decision that I will no longer be actively maintaining this repo. I am now in the process of finding a new maintainer - if this is something that may interest you, you can find more details in the README
