Attribute: title

(based on attribute name)
Description:
This attribute contains the title, such as "Vice President", of a person in their organizational context. The "personalTitle" attribute would be used for a person's title independent of their job function.

BNC Syntax: 2.5.4.12 NAME 'title' SUP name

rfc2256

Syntax: Directory String

ID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15

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 #!%#@

BNC Syntax: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 DESC 'Directory String'

This attribute's description says:

The "personalTitle" attribute would be used for a person's title independent of their job function.

Where is the personalTitle attribute located?

personalTitle is documented from the link below, however the only place it appears to be referenced is in the UmichPerson ojbectclass definition - included with the openldap server.
