    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-915?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13691930#comment-13691930 ] 

Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSTUDIO-915:
--------------------------------------------------

After a TeamViewer session with Lothar last week, we saw that some "wrong" settings in the Value Editors preferences page were primarily the cause of this issue.

On the subject of eDirectory storing String values into attributes with a Binary Syntax, we concurred that it would be great to have a new option in the Hex Value Editor to allow text edition (if possible, if the value is displayable).
This is going to be tracked in a dedicated JIRA issue.

> Attribute values of binary syntax OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5 are displayed inconsistently and partly wrong. Those attributes contain base 64 encoded text and some of them are displayed as
> - editable (inline + dialog) text
> - "Binary Data (xxx Bytes)"
> - NULL
> See attached screenshot for an example of Apache DS vs. Gawor LDAP Browser/Editor displayoing the same object.
