We have been using the managed class SHA512 for some time. Now we would like
to transfer all of the hash values generated by this algorithm to a non-.NET
environment (LDAP). Are there any gottchas that I should be aware of?

Thank you.

You just want to store the values in LDAP?  That should be no big deal.
Just make sure you use a valid serialization approach for the binary data
(base64 encoded string or octet string encoding a binary-type LDAP
attribute).
