We should also set the default LDAP version to '3' in the configuration settings page.
Some LDAP servers refuse v2 connections by default (e.g., OpenLDAP 2.x and later) and using v3 makes the server use utf8 both in the queries and the responses (unless the server is really broken).
Setting the default to v3 would ensure that nobody forgets to select v3 and gets a broken setup that works most of the time (but not always).
Saludos.
Iñaki.
