What
This PR removes changes the encoding of LDAP attributes from ASCII to UTF-8.
Why
This causes issues in profiles, as a user may enter a Unicode character, which causes an error when encoding into ASCII.
This encoding step is not necessary, as LDAP supports UTF-8 encoding.
Test Plan
I manually added Unicode characters into my LDAP fields on FreeIPA with no issue, and tested this change in profiles.
