Thanks for the hint to iconv.

Now i tried this: iso-8859-15

$ /kolab/bin/ldapadd -D "cn=manager,cn=internal,dc=bsv,dc=lan" -W -f testimport.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "cn=Süd, Afrika,cn=external,dc=bsv,dc=lan"
ldap_add: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid DN

This: utf-8

$ /kolab/bin/ldapadd -D "cn=manager,cn=internal,dc=bsv,dc=lan" -W -f testimport.ldif.u8
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "cn=Süd, Afrika,cn=external,dc=bsv,dc=lan"
ldap_add: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid DN

And this: utf-8 base64 encoded values

$ /kolab/bin/ldapadd -D "cn=manager,cn=internal,dc=bsv,dc=lan" -W -f testimport.ldif.u8.b64 
Enter LDAP Password: 
adding new entry "cn=Süd, Afrika,cn=external,dc=bsv,dc=lan"
ldap_add: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid DN

$  file testimport.ldif testimport.ldif.u8 testimport.ldif.u8.b64
testimport.ldif:    ISO-8859 text
testimport.ldif.u8: UTF-8 Unicode text
testimport.ldif.u8.b64: UTF-8 Unicode text

The files:
testimport.ldif:
#  Süd, Afrika bsv.lan Lists/cn=Oeffentlich
dn: cn=Süd, Afrika,cn=external,dc=bsv,dc=lan
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: kolabInetOrgPerson
sn: Süd
cn: Süd, Afrika
givenName: Afrika
mail: mbox at mail.addr.tld

testimport.ldif.u8:
#  Süd, Afrika bsv.lan Lists/cn=Oeffentlich
dn: cn=Süd, Afrika,cn=external,dc=bsv,dc=lan
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: kolabInetOrgPerson
sn: Süd
cn: Süd, Afrika
givenName: Afrika
mail: mbox at mail.addr.tld

testimport.ldif.u8.b64:
# Süd, Afrika bsv.lan Lists/cn=Oeffentlich
dn:: Y249U8O8ZCwgQWZyaWthLGNuPWV4dGVybmFsLGRjPWJzdixkYz1sYW4=
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: kolabInetOrgPerson
sn:: Y249U8O8ZA==
cn:: Y249U8O8ZCwgQWZyaWth
givenName: Afrika
mail: mbox at mail.addr.tld

All three failed.

Any idea?

Frank.
