DHCPOption problem
I am trying to Apache Directory server for a DHCP backend. I have got a lot
of it working but I have hit wall and need help. I am trying to add an
attribute the "dhcpOption". When I try to add it, it ask for a binary value
but I don't how to add it. Let us say that I am trying to add "dhcpOption"
with a value of "broadcast 10.50.255.255". That is a string and will not
work. After lots of research apparently the value needed for that attribute
has to an encoded value of the string. How do I make this encoded value?

Yes. You can associate the dhcpOption Attribute to an editor that allows
you to set its value. Check in the Preferences.

It depends on the tool you are using.
Basically, if you are using Java, you need to get the UTF-8 form for the
String you want to inject into the server. That's done with :
"Your data".getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
You can also use the Apache LDAP API
org.apache.directory.api.util.Strings method :
public static byte[] getBytesUtf8( String string )
