Hi T.K.Kang,

welcome to the list, and thanks for posting a detailed outline of the
problems you are seeing.

I tried this exact scenario, and I could not reproduce the problems you are
seeing. But now I realise that it tested it with the 0.6 development
version.

Can you try updating to the development version of the XS and re-attempting
the test? You can do update with the following command:

  yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update

3. Hence chinese names (double bytes) will have the same issue as describe

Can you test this too with the dev version? I do think it works...

Can you send me a zipfile (privately) of an example datastore with chinese
characters? I'm not good with SCIM ;-)
