Implement Unicode (UTF-8) support for LDAP reader

The LDAP reader in FME Desktop for Windows is currently unable to read objects that contain characters from other languages (e.g. Å? and Ä?) and therefore fails to load. I work for a global organisation and the usernames in our LDAP server contain characters from many different languages, therefore the workaround to change the locale of Windows is not feasible. I believe that this issue is also preventing our instance of FME Server from connecting to active directory, which is a significant barrier to the deployment of FME Server across the organisation.

I therefore suggest that Unicode (UTF-8) support is added to the LDAP reader to enable multi-national organisations to connect to LDAP using FME Desktop and FME Server.
