2. Abstract
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [1] requires that
the contents of AttributeValue fields in protocol elements be octet
strings. This document defines a set of syntaxes for LDAPv3, and the
rules by which attribute values of these syntaxes are represented as
octet strings for transmission in the LDAP protocol. The syntaxes
defined in this document are referenced by this and other documents
that define attribute types. This document also defines the set of
attribute types which LDAP servers should support.
3. Overview
This document defines the framework for developing schemas for
directories accessible via the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
Schema is the collection of attribute type definitions, object class
definitions and other information which a server uses to determine
how to match a filter or attribute value assertion (in a compare
operation) against the attributes of an entry, and whether to permit
add and modify operations.
Section 4 states the general requirements and notations for attribute
types, object classes, syntax and matching rule definitions.

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
Section 5 lists attributes, section 6 syntaxes and section 7 object
classes.
Additional documents define schemas for representing real-world
objects as directory entries.
4. General Issues
This document describes encodings used in an Internet protocol.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in
this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [4].
Attribute Type and Object Class definitions are written in a
string representation of the AttributeTypeDescription and
ObjectClassDescription data types defined in X.501(93) [3].
Implementors are strongly advised to first read the description
of how schema is represented in X.500 before reading the rest of
this document.
4.1. Common Encoding Aspects
For the purposes of defining the encoding rules for attribute
syntaxes, the following BNF definitions will be used. They are
based on the BNF styles of RFC 822 [13].
a = "a" / "b" / "c" / "d" / "e" / "f" / "g" / "h" / "i" /
"j" / "k" / "l" / "m" / "n" / "o" / "p" / "q" / "r" /
"s" / "t" / "u" / "v" / "w" / "x" / "y" / "z" / "A" /
"B" / "C" / "D" / "E" / "F" / "G" / "H" / "I" / "J" /
"K" / "L" / "M" / "N" / "O" / "P" / "Q" / "R" / "S" /
"T" / "U" / "V" / "W" / "X" / "Y" / "Z"
d = "0" / "1" / "2" / "3" / "4" /
"5" / "6" / "7" / "8" / "9"
hex-digit = d / "a" / "b" / "c" / "d" / "e" / "f" /
"A" / "B" / "C" / "D" / "E" / "F"
k = a / d / "-"
p = a / d / """ / "(" / ")" / "+" / "," /
"-" / "." / "/" / ":" / "?" / " "
letterstring = 1*a
numericstring = 1*d
anhstring = 1*k
keystring = a [ anhstring ]
printablestring = 1*p
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 2
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
space = 1*" "
whsp = [ space ]
utf8 = <any sequence of octets formed from the UTF-8 [9]
transformation of a character from ISO10646 [10]>
dstring = 1*utf8
qdstring = whsp "'" dstring "'" whsp
qdstringlist = [ qdstring *( qdstring ) ]
qdstrings = qdstring / ( whsp "(" qdstringlist ")" whsp )
In the following BNF for the string representation of OBJECT
IDENTIFIERs, descr is the syntactic representation of an object
descriptor, which consists of letters and digits, starting with a
letter. An OBJECT IDENTIFIER in the numericoid format should not
have leading zeroes (e.g. "0.9.3" is permitted but "0.09.3" should
not be generated).
When encoding 'oid' elements in a value, the descr encoding option
SHOULD be used in preference to the numericoid. An object descriptor is
a more readable alias for a number OBJECT IDENTIFIER, and these
(where assigned and known by the implementation) SHOULD be used in
preference to numeric oids to the greatest extent possible.
Examples of object descriptors in LDAP are attribute type, object
class and matching rule names.
oid = descr / numericoid
descr = keystring
numericoid = numericstring *( "." numericstring )
woid = whsp oid whsp
; set of oids of either form
oids = woid / ( "(" oidlist ")" )
oidlist = woid *( "$" woid )
; object descriptors used as schema element names
qdescrs = qdescr / ( whsp "(" qdescrlist ")" whsp )
qdescrlist = [ qdescr *( qdescr ) ]
qdescr = whsp "'" descr "'" whsp

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
4.2. Attribute Types
The attribute types are described by sample values for the subschema
"attributeTypes" attribute, which is written in the
AttributeTypeDescription syntax. While lines have been folded for
readability, the values transferred in protocol would not contain
newlines.
The AttributeTypeDescription is encoded according to the following
BNF, and the productions for oid, qdescrs and qdstring are given
in section 4.1. Implementors should note that future versions of
this document may have expanded this BNF to include additional terms.
Terms which begin with the characters "X-" are reserved for private
experiments.
AttributeTypeDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp ; AttributeType identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ] ; name used in AttributeType
[ "DESC" qdstring ] ; description
[ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
[ "SUP" woid ] ; derived from this other
; AttributeType
[ "EQUALITY" woid ; Matching Rule name
[ "ORDERING" woid ; Matching Rule name
[ "SUBSTR" woid ] ; Matching Rule name
[ "SYNTAX" whsp noidlen whsp ] ; see section 4.3
[ "SINGLE-VALUE" whsp ] ; default multi-valued
[ "COLLECTIVE" whsp ] ; default not collective
[ "NO-USER-MODIFICATION" whsp ]; default user modifiable
[ "USAGE" whsp AttributeUsage ]; default userApplications
whsp ")"
AttributeUsage =
"userApplications" /
"directoryOperation" /
"distributedOperation" / ; DSA-shared
"dSAOperation" ; DSA-specific, value depends on server
Servers are not required to provide the same or any text
in the description part of the subschema values they maintain.
Servers SHOULD provide at least one of the "SUP" and "SYNTAX" fields
for each AttributeTypeDescription.
Servers MUST implement all the attribute types referenced in
sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
Servers MAY recognize additional names and attributes not listed in
this document, and if they do so, MUST publish the definitions of
the types in the attributeTypes attribute of their subschema
entries.
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 4
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
Schema developers MUST NOT create attribute definitions whose names
conflict with attributes defined for use with LDAP in existing
standards-track RFCs.
An AttributeDescription can be used as the value in a NAME part of an
AttributeTypeDescription. Note that these are case insensitive.
Note that the AttributeTypeDescription does not list the matching
rules which can can be used with that attribute type in an
extensibleMatch search filter. This is done using the matchingRuleUse
attribute described in section 4.5.
This document refines the schema description of X.501 by requiring
that the syntax field in an AttributeTypeDescription be a string
representation of an OBJECT IDENTIFIER for the LDAP string syntax
definition, and an optional indication of the maximum length of
a value of this attribute.
4.3. Syntaxes
This section defines general requirements for LDAP attribute value
syntax encodings. All documents defining attribute syntax encodings
for use with LDAP are expected to conform to these requirements.
The encoding rules defined for a given attribute syntax must produce
octet strings. To the greatest extent possible, encoded octet
strings should be usable in their native encoded form for display
purposes. In particular, encoding rules for attribute syntaxes
defining non-binary values should produce strings that can be
displayed with little or no translation by clients implementing
LDAP. There are a few cases (e.g. audio) however, when it is not
sensible to produce a printable representation, and clients MUST NOT
assume that an unrecognized syntax is a string representation.
In encodings where an arbitrary string, not a Distinguished Name, is
used as part of a larger production, and other than as part of a
Distinguished Name, a backslash quoting mechanism is used to escape
the following separator symbol character (such as "'", "$" or "#") if
it should occur in that string. The backslash is followed by a pair
of hexadecimal digits representing the next character. A backslash
itself in the string which forms part of a larger syntax is always
transmitted as '\5C' or '\5c'. An example is given in section 6.27.
Syntaxes are also defined for matching rules whose assertion value
syntax is different from the attribute value syntax.
4.3.1 Binary Transfer of Values
This encoding format is used if the binary encoding is requested by
the client for an attribute, or if the attribute syntax name is
"1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5". The value, an instance of the ASN.1
AttributeValue type, is BER-encoded, and the result is used as the
value: the first byte inside the OCTET STRING wrapper is a tag byte.
However the OCTET STRING is still encoded in primitive form.)
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 5
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
All servers MUST implement this form for both generating attribute
values in search responses, and parsing attribute values in add,
compare and modify requests, if the attribute type is recognized and
the attribute syntax name is that of Binary. Clients which request
that all attributes be returned from entries MUST be prepared
to receive values in binary (e.g. userCertificate), and SHOULD NOT
simply display binary or unrecognized values to users.
4.3.2. Syntax Object Identifiers
Syntaxes for use with LDAP are named by OBJECT IDENTIFIERs, which
are dotted-decimal strings. These are not intended to be displayed
to users.
noidlen = numericoid [ "{" len "}" ]
len = numericstring
The following table lists some of the syntaxes that have been defined
for LDAP thus far. The H-R column suggests whether a value in that
syntax would likely be a human readable string. Clients and servers
need not implement all the syntaxes listed here, and MAY implement
other syntaxes.
Other documents may define additional syntaxes. However, the
definition of additional arbitrary syntaxes is strongly deprecated
since it will hinder interoperability: today's client and server
implementations generally do not have the ability to dynamically
recognize new syntaxes. In most cases attributes will be defined
with the syntax for directory strings.

A suggested minimum upper bound on the number of characters in value
with a string-based syntax, or the number of bytes in a value for all
other syntaxes, may be indicated by appending this bound count inside
of curly braces following the syntax name's OBJECT IDENTIFIER in an
Attribute Type Description. This bound is not part of the syntax name
itself. For instance, "1.3.6.4.1.1466.0{64}" suggests that server
implementations should allow a string to be 64 characters long,
although they may allow longer strings. Note that a single character
of the Directory String syntax may be encoded in more than one byte
since UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding.
4.3.3. Syntax Description
The following BNF may be used to associate a short description with
a syntax OBJECT IDENTIFIER. Implementors should note that future
versions of this document may expand this definition to include
additional terms. Terms whose identifier begins with "X-" are
reserved for private experiments.
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 7
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
SyntaxDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
whsp ")"
4.4. Object Classes
The format for representation of object classes is defined in X.501
[3]. In general every entry will contain an abstract class ("top" or
"alias"), at least one structural object class, and zero or more
auxiliary object classes. Whether an object class is abstract,
structural or auxiliary is defined when the object class identifier
is assigned. An object class definition should not be changed
without having a new identifier assigned to it.
Object class descriptions are written according to the following BNF.
Implementors should note that future versions of this document may
expand this definition to include additional terms. Terms whose
identifier begins with "X-" are reserved for private experiments.
ObjectClassDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp ; ObjectClass identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ]
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
[ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
[ "SUP" oids ] ; Superior ObjectClasses
[ ( "ABSTRACT" / "STRUCTURAL" / "AUXILIARY" ) whsp ]
; default structural
[ "MUST" oids ] ; AttributeTypes
[ "MAY" oids ] ; AttributeTypes
whsp ")"
These are described as sample values for the subschema
"objectClasses" attribute for a server which implements the LDAP
schema. While lines have been folded for readability, the values
transferred in protocol would not contain newlines.
Servers SHOULD implement all the object classes referenced in
section 7, except for extensibleObject, which is optional.
Servers MAY implement additional object classes not listed in this
document, and if they do so, MUST publish the definitions of the
classes in the objectClasses attribute of their subschema entries.
Later documents may define additional object classes.
Schema developers MUST NOT create object class definitions whose
names conflict with attributes defined for use with LDAP in existing
standards-track RFCs.
4.5. Matching Rules
Matching rules are used by servers to compare attribute values
against assertion values when performing Search and Compare
operations. They are also used to identify the value to be added
or deleted when modifying entries, and are used when comparing a
purported distinguished name with the name of an entry.
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 8
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
Most of the attributes given in this document will have an equality
matching rule defined.
Matching rule descriptions are written according to the following
BNF. Implementors should note that future versions of this document
may have expanded this BNF to include additional terms.
MatchingRuleDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp ; MatchingRule identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ]
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
[ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
"SYNTAX" numericoid
whsp ")"
Values of the matchingRuleUse list the attributes which are suitable
for use with an extensible matching rule.
MatchingRuleUseDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp ; MatchingRule identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ]
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
[ "OBSOLETE" ]
"APPLIES" oids ; AttributeType identifiers
whsp ")"
Servers which support matching rules and the extensibleMatch SHOULD
implement all the matching rules in section 8.
Servers MAY implement additional matching rules not listed in this
document, and if they do so, MUST publish the definitions of the
matching rules in the matchingRules attribute of their
subschema entries. If the server supports the extensibleMatch, then
the server MUST publish the relationship between the matching rules
and attributes in the matchingRuleUse attribute.
For example, a server which implements a privately-defined matching
rule for performing sound-alike matches on Directory String-valued
attributes would include the following in the subschema entry
(1.2.3.4.5 is an example, the OID of an actual matching rule would be
different):
matchingRule: ( 1.2.3.4.5 NAME 'soundAlikeMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15' )
If this matching rule could be used with the attributes 2.5.4.41 and
2.5.4.15, the following would also be present:
matchingRuleUse: ( 1.2.3.4.5 APPLIES (2.5.4.41 $ 2.5.4.15) )
A client could then make use of this matching rule by sending a
search operation in which the filter is of the extensibleMatch choice,
the matchingRule field is "soundAlikeMatch", and the type field is
"2.5.4.41" or "2.5.4.15".

5.2. LDAP Operational Attributes
These attributes are only present in the root DSE (see [1] and [3]).
Servers MUST recognize these attribute names, but it is not required
that a server provide values for these attributes, when the
attribute corresponds to a feature which the server does not
implement.

5.2.1. namingContexts
The values of this attribute correspond to naming contexts which this
server masters or shadows. If the server does not master any
information (e.g. it is an LDAP gateway to a public X.500 directory)
this attribute will be absent. If the server believes it contains
the entire directory, the attribute will have a single value, and
that value will be the empty string (indicating the null DN of the
root). This attribute will allow a client to choose suitable base
objects for searching when it has contacted a server.

5.2.2. altServer
The values of this attribute are URLs of other servers which may be
contacted when this server becomes unavailable. If the server does
not know of any other servers which could be used this attribute
will be absent. Clients may cache this information in case their
preferred LDAP server later becomes unavailable.
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.101.120.6 NAME 'altServer'

5.3. LDAP Subschema Attribute
This attribute is typically located in the subschema entry.
5.3.1. ldapSyntaxes
Servers MAY use this attribute to list the syntaxes which are
implemented. Each value corresponds to one syntax.

EQUALITY objectIdentifierFirstComponentMatch
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.54' USAGE directoryOperation )
6. Syntaxes
Servers SHOULD recognize all the syntaxes described in this section.
6.1. Attribute Type Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.3 DESC 'Attribute Type Description' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the BNF given at the
start of section 4.2. For example,
( 2.5.4.0 NAME 'objectClass'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38' )
6.2. Binary
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5 DESC 'Binary' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as described in section 4.3.1.
6.3. Bit String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.6 DESC 'Bit String' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
bitstring = "'" *binary-digit "'B"
binary-digit = "0" / "1"
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 13
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
Example:
'0101111101'B
6.4. Boolean
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 DESC 'Boolean' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE"
Boolean values have an encoding of "TRUE" if they are logically true,
and have an encoding of "FALSE" otherwise.
6.5. Certificate
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.8 DESC 'Certificate' )
Because of the changes from X.509(1988) and X.509(1993) and
additional changes to the ASN.1 definition to support certificate
extensions, no string representation is defined, and values in
this syntax MUST only be transferred using the binary encoding, by
requesting or returning the attributes with descriptions
"userCertificate;binary" or "caCertificate;binary". The BNF notation
in RFC 1778 for "User Certificate" is not recommended to be used.
6.6. Certificate List
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.9 DESC 'Certificate List' )
Because of the incompatibility of the X.509(1988) and X.509(1993)
definitions of revocation lists, values in this syntax MUST only be
transferred using a binary encoding, by requesting or returning the
attributes with descriptions "certificateRevocationList;binary" or
"authorityRevocationList;binary". The BNF notation in RFC 1778 for
"Authority Revocation List" is not recommended to be used.
6.7. Certificate Pair
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.10 DESC 'Certificate Pair' )
Because the Certificate is being carried in binary, values in this
syntax MUST only be transferred using a binary encoding, by requesting
or returning the attribute description "crossCertificatePair;binary".
The BNF notation in RFC 1778 for "Certificate Pair" is not
recommended to be used.
6.8. Country String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.11 DESC 'Country String' )
A value in this syntax is encoded the same as a value of
Directory String syntax. Note that this syntax is limited to values
of exactly two printable string characters, as listed in ISO 3166 [14].
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 14
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
CountryString = p p
Example:
US
6.9. DN
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 DESC 'DN' )
Values in the Distinguished Name syntax are encoded to have the
representation defined in [5]. Note that this representation is not
reversible to an ASN.1 encoding used in X.500 for Distinguished
Names, as the CHOICE of any DirectoryString element in an RDN is no
longer known.
Examples (from [5]):
CN=Steve Kille,O=Isode Limited,C=GB
OU=Sales+CN=J. Smith,O=Widget Inc.,C=US
CN=L. Eagle,O=Sue\, Grabbit and Runn,C=GB
CN=Before\0DAfter,O=Test,C=GB
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB
SN=Lu\C4\8Di\C4\87
6.10. Directory String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 DESC 'Directory String' )
A string in this syntax is encoded in the UTF-8 form of ISO 10646
(a superset of Unicode). Servers and clients MUST be prepared to
receive encodings of arbitrary Unicode characters, including
characters not presently assigned to any character set.
For characters in the PrintableString form, the value is encoded as
the string value itself.
If it is of the TeletexString form, then the characters are
transliterated to their equivalents in UniversalString, and encoded
in UTF-8 [9].
If it is of the UniversalString or BMPString forms [10], UTF-8 is
used to encode them.
Note: the form of DirectoryString is not indicated in protocol
unless the attribute value is carried in binary. Servers which
convert to DAP MUST choose an appropriate form. Servers MUST NOT
reject values merely because they contain legal Unicode characters
outside of the range of printable ASCII.
Example:
This is a string of DirectoryString containing #!%#@

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
6.11. DIT Content Rule Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.16 DESC 'DIT Content Rule Description' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF.
Implementors should note that future versions of this document
may have expanded this BNF to include additional terms.
DITContentRuleDescription = "("
numericoid ; Structural ObjectClass identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ]
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
[ "OBSOLETE" ]
[ "AUX" oids ] ; Auxiliary ObjectClasses
[ "MUST" oids ] ; AttributeType identifiers
[ "MAY" oids ] ; AttributeType identifiers
[ "NOT" oids ] ; AttributeType identifiers
")"
6.12. Facsimile Telephone Number
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 DESC 'Facsimile Telephone Number' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
fax-number = printablestring [ "$" faxparameters ]
faxparameters = faxparm / ( faxparm "$" faxparameters )
faxparm = "twoDimensional" / "fineResolution" /
"unlimitedLength" /
"b4Length" / "a3Width" / "b4Width" / "uncompressed"
In the above, the first printablestring is the telephone number,
based on E.123 [15], and the faxparm tokens represent fax parameters.
6.13. Fax
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.23 DESC 'Fax' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as if they were octet strings
containing Group 3 Fax images as defined in [7].
6.14. Generalized Time
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24 DESC 'Generalized Time' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as printable strings, represented
as specified in X.208. Note that the time zone must be specified.
It is strongly recommended that GMT time be used. For example,
199412161032Z
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 16
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
6.15. IA5 String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 DESC 'IA5 String' )
The encoding of a value in this syntax is the string value itself.
6.16. INTEGER
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 DESC 'INTEGER' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as the decimal representation
of their values, with each decimal digit represented by the its
character equivalent. So the number 1321 is represented by the
character string "1321".
6.17. JPEG
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.28 DESC 'JPEG' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as strings containing JPEG images in
the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF), as described in [8].
6.18. Matching Rule Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.30 DESC 'Matching Rule Description' )
Values of type matchingRules are encoded as strings according to
the BNF given in section 4.5.
6.19. Matching Rule Use Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.31 DESC 'Matching Rule Use Description' )
Values of type matchingRuleUse are encoded as strings according to
the BNF given in section 4.5.
6.20. MHS OR Address
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.33 DESC 'MHS OR Address' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as strings, according to the format
defined in [11].
6.21. Name And Optional UID
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.34 DESC 'Name And Optional UID' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
NameAndOptionalUID = DistinguishedName [ "#" bitstring ]
Although the '#' character may occur in a string representation of a
distinguished name, no additional special quoting is done. This
syntax has been added subsequent to RFC 1778.
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 17
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
Example:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB#'0101'B
6.22. Name Form Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.35 DESC 'Name Form Description' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF.
Implementors should note that future versions of this document
may have expanded this BNF to include additional terms.
NameFormDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp ; NameForm identifier
[ "NAME" qdescrs ]
[ "DESC" qdstring ]
[ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
"OC" woid ; Structural ObjectClass
"MUST" oids ; AttributeTypes
[ "MAY" oids ] ; AttributeTypes
whsp ")"
6.23. Numeric String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.36 DESC 'Numeric String' )
The encoding of a string in this syntax is the string value itself.
Example:
1997
6.24. Object Class Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.37 DESC 'Object Class Description' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the BNF in section 4.4.
6.25. OID
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 DESC 'OID' )
Values in the Object Identifier syntax are encoded according to
the BNF in section 4.1 for "oid".
Example:
1.2.3.4
cn

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
6.26. Other Mailbox
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.39 DESC 'Other Mailbox' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
otherMailbox = mailbox-type "$" mailbox
mailbox-type = printablestring
mailbox = <an encoded IA5 String>
In the above, mailbox-type represents the type of mail system in
which the mailbox resides, for example "MCIMail"; and mailbox is
the actual mailbox in the mail system defined by mailbox-type.
6.27. Postal Address
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41 DESC 'Postal Address' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:
postal-address = dstring *( "$" dstring )
In the above, each dstring component of a postal address value is
encoded as a value of type Directory String syntax. Backslashes and
dollar characters, if they occur in the component, are quoted as
described in section 4.3. Many servers limit the postal address to
six lines of up to thirty characters.
Example:
1234 Main St.$Anytown, CA 12345$USA
\241,000,000 Sweepstakes$PO Box 1000000$Anytown, CA 12345$USA
6.28. Presentation Address
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.43 DESC 'Presentation Address' )

in RFC 1278 [6].
6.29. Printable String
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 DESC 'Printable String' )
The encoding of a value in this syntax is the string value itself.
PrintableString is limited to the characters in production p of
section 4.1.
Example:
This is a PrintableString
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 19
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
6.30. Telephone Number
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.50 DESC 'Telephone Number' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as if they were Printable String
types. Telephone numbers are recommended in X.520 to be in
international form, as described in E.123 [15].
Example:
+1 512 305 0280
6.31. UTC Time
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.53 DESC 'UTC Time' )
Values in this syntax are encoded as if they were printable
strings with the strings containing a UTCTime value. This is
historical; new attribute definitions SHOULD use GeneralizedTime
instead.
6.32. LDAP Syntax Description
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.54 DESC 'LDAP Syntax Description' )
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the BNF in section
4.3.3.
7. Object Classes
Servers SHOULD recognize all the names of standard classes from
section 7 of [12].
7.1. Extensible Object Class
The extensibleObject object class, if present in an entry, permits
that entry to optionally hold any attribute. The MAY attribute list
of this class is implicitly the set of all attributes.
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.101.120.111 NAME 'extensibleObject'
SUP top AUXILIARY )
The mandatory attributes of the other object classes of this entry
are still required to be present.
Note that not all servers will implement this object class, and those
which do not will reject requests to add entries which contain this
object class, or modify an entry to add this object class.
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 20
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
8. Matching Rules
Servers which implement the extensibleMatch filter SHOULD allow
all the matching rules listed in this section to be used in the
extensibleMatch. In general these servers SHOULD allow matching
rules to be used with all attribute types known to the server, when
the assertion syntax of the matching rule is the same as the value
syntax of the attribute.
Servers MAY implement additional matching rules.
8.1. Matching Rules used in Equality Filters
Servers SHOULD be capable of performing the following matching rules.
For all these rules, the assertion syntax is the same as the value
syntax.
( 2.5.13.0 NAME 'objectIdentifierMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38' )
If the client supplies a filter using an objectIdentifierMatch whose
matchValue oid is in the "descr" form, and the oid is not recognized
by the server, then the filter is Undefined.
( 2.5.13.1 NAME 'distinguishedNameMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12' )
( 2.5.13.2 NAME 'caseIgnoreMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15' )
( 2.5.13.8 NAME 'numericStringMatch'

( 2.5.13.11 NAME 'caseIgnoreListMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41' )
( 2.5.13.14 NAME 'integerMatch'

( 2.5.13.20 NAME 'telephoneNumberMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.50' )
( 2.5.13.22 NAME 'presentationAddressMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.43' )
( 2.5.13.23 NAME 'uniqueMemberMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.34' )
( 2.5.13.24 NAME 'protocolInformationMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.42' )
Wahl,Coulbeck,Howes,Kille LDAPv3 Attribute Syntax Defns. Page 21
INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-attributes-07.txt Aug. 1997
( 2.5.13.27 NAME 'generalizedTimeMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24' )
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.109.114.1 NAME 'caseExactIA5Match'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26' )
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.109.114.2 NAME 'caseIgnoreIA5Match'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26' )
When performing the caseIgnoreMatch, caseIgnoreListMatch,
telephoneNumberMatch, caseExactIA5Match and caseIgnoreIA5Match,
multiple adjoining whitespace characters are treated the same as an
individual space, and leading and trailing whitespace is ignored.
Clients MUST NOT assume that servers are capable of transliteration
of Unicode values.
8.2. Matching Rules used in Inequality Filters
Servers SHOULD be capable of performing the following matching rules,
which are used in greaterOrEqual and lessOrEqual filters.
( 2.5.13.28 NAME 'generalizedTimeOrderingMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24' )
( 2.5.13.3 NAME 'caseIgnoreOrderingMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15' )
The sort ordering for a caseIgnoreOrderingMatch is
implementation-dependent.
8.3. Matching Rules for Subschema Attributes
Servers which allow subschema entries to be modified by clients MUST
support the following matching rule, as it is the equality matching
rule for several of the subschema attributes.
( 2.5.13.30 NAME 'objectIdentifierFirstComponentMatch'
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38' )
Implementors should note that the assertion syntax of this matching
rule, an OID, is different from the value syntax of attributes for
which this is the equality matching rule.
If the client supplies a filter using an
objectIdentifierFirstComponentMatch whose matchValue oid is in the
"descr" form, and the oid is not recognized by the server, then the
filter is Undefined.

9. Security Considerations
9.1. Disclosure
Attributes of directory entries are used to provide descriptive
information about the real-world objects they represent, which can
be people, organizations or devices. Most countries have privacy
laws regarding the publication of information about people.
9.2. Use of Attribute Values in Security Applications
The transformations of an AttributeValue value from its X.501 form to
an LDAP string representation are not always reversible back to the
same BER or DER form. An example of a situation which requires the
DER form of a distinguished name is the verification of an X.509
certificate.
For example, a distinguished name consisting of one RDN with one AVA,
in which the type is commonName and the value is of the TeletexString
choice with the letters 'Sam' would be represented in LDAP as the
string CN=Sam. Another distinguished name in which the value is
still 'Sam' but of the PrintableString choice would have the same
representation CN=Sam.
Applications which require the reconstruction of the DER form of the
value SHOULD NOT use the string representation of attribute syntaxes
when converting a value to LDAP format. Instead it SHOULD use the
Binary syntax.
