Attribute: distinguishedName

Description:
This attribute type is not used as the name of the object itself, but it is instead a base type from which attributes with DN syntax inherit.

It is unlikely that values of this type itself will occur in an entry. LDAP server implementations which do not support attribute subtyping need not recognize this attribute in requests. Client implementations MUST NOT assume that LDAP servers are capable of performing attribute subtyping.

BNC Syntax: 2.5.4.49 NAME 'distinguishedName' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12

rfc2256

Syntax: DN

ID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12

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

Equality Matching: distinguishedNameMatch

Description:

Servers SHOULD be capable of performing the following matching rules.

For all these rules, the assertion syntax is the same as the value syntax.

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.

Thanks for a useful lookup service. One suggestion -- when you print out

BNC Syntax: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 DESC 'DN'

in an attribute listing, how about making it a URL to the equivalent page under the "+ Syntaxes" list? I.e., cross-link them...
