Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/issues/435

the command

ldapsearch -H ldap://xxx -D 'uid=xxx,ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=xx' -LLL 'uid=xxx' uid cn sn displayname mail jpegphoto memberOf -o ldif-wrap=no -b 'ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=xx'  -w xxxxxx

returns

dn: uid=xxx,ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=xx
uid: xxx
cn: xxx
sn: xxx
displayname: xxx
mail: xxx
jpegphoto:: /xxx

as you can see - the jpegphoto has two colons "::"

That is the correct output for a base-64 encoded value, see man ldif: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/ldif.5.html

Note that this behavior is entirely within ldapsearch: LLDAP returns the value of the raw bytes, it's just ldapsearch that decides to convert it to base 64 for display.

(LLDAP does the same thing for the GraphQL API, but that's unrelated)
