Encode strings to UTF-8 before sending them to LDAP.


According to the RFCs that I quickly browsed through, it looks like LDAP

expects text to be encoded as UTF-8. This typically doesn't matter because most

strings that we deal with for authentication are ASCII.


In bug 2978, a user had an accent in their password, which meant they couldn't

authenticate. This is easily fixed by encoding the strings first.
