Thanks for telling me what the test is meant to do! This is what I wanted to know from the start ...

So the base64 is only if the attribute is "longer" than a certain amount the ldapclient tools base64 it for viewing - the server actually doesn't care or know that it's going on at all, so really, this is a test if binary matching works.

You can thus, setup a simpler test by setting

with open('/tmp/test') as f:
data = f.readlines() # or read(), I can't remember what does it all without newlines)
Account.set('usercertificate', data)
Accounts.filter('userCert=%b' % data)

So then I'd tweak if it's %b or %s, I'd probably also to see what works and prevents python leaking state or formatting.

Then work up to a full certificate.

If you have a failuing example, please send me the access log and -v (DEBUGGING=True) lib389 output so I can help

Thanks,
