  When connecting to Active Directory containing non-ASCII characters,

  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 3-4: ordinal not in range(128)

  This behaviour happens in both 6.1 and 7.0.
  In my case, the ldap_base string contains non-ascii characters and I used "encode('utf-8')" as a quick fix.

  Original code in users_ldap.py

  results = conn.search_st(conf['ldap_base'], ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
  filter, retrieve_attributes, timeout=60)

  Modified code in users_ldap.py

  results = conn.search_st(conf['ldap_base'].encode('utf-8'),
  ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, filter, retrieve_attributes, timeout=60)

  This fix only works for 6.1. 
  Using this fix for 7.0, a different error relating to database insertion (creating new user) occurs.
