Hmmm I don't think the attribute is being defined as binary within the 
configuration file which someone seemed to comment out grrrr!

I just committed 230475 which should fix this issue.  It's a simple 
configuration option.  You can add this line straight to your config 
file to make sure this problem goes away.  Anyhow here's the DIFF of the 
commit:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=230475&view=rev

If you notice the java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary property was 
commented out by someone.  When this is set to the list I just put in 
your JPEG photo should be just fine.  Let me know if this works.

Thanks,
Alex
