Hi Deon,

There are several problems around LDIF import:

Entry following the "version:" specification is not processed unless preceded by a blank line.
Data gets trimmed too often, resulting in significant leading/trailing spaces being lost.
Continuation lines of a folded comment get appended to the previous attribute.
URLs are silently ignored.

You can find data to reproduce here.

Download attrdata.txt and bugs.ldif to /the/path/of/your/choice/.
Edit bugs.ldif, replace '/path/to/file/' by '/the/path/of/your/choice/' and 'dc=your_ldap_domain' by the base dn you want to use for tests.
in PLA, import file /the/path/of/your/choice/bugs.ldif.

See comments in the ldif file for detailed explanations.

The file phpldapadmin-1.2.3-importldif.patch fixes all these problems (URLs are still disabled with an "unimplemented" error for security reasons).

I used RFC2849 as the standards reference.

Don't hesitate to ask if you need more info.

Best regards,

Patrick
