Standard Attributes

Attributes hold specific data elements such as a name or a fax number. Directory
Server represents data as attribute-data pairs, a descriptive attribute associated
with a specific piece of information. For example, the directory can store a piece of
data such as a person's name in a pair with the standard attribute, in this case
commonName
attribute-data pair:
cn: Babs Jensen
In fact, the entire entry is represented as a series of attribute-data pairs. The entire
entry for Babs Jensen might appear as follows:
dn: uid=bjensen, ou=people, dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Babs Jensen

Description
Boolean values have a value of either "TRUE" or
"FALSE."
Values in this syntax are encoded as printable strings.
It is strongly recommended that GMT time be used.
The time zone must be specified.
A value in this syntax is encoded the same as a value
of DirectoryString syntax. This syntax is limited to
values of exactly two printable string characters.
Values in this syntax are encoded according to the
following:
postal-address = dstring *("$" dstring)
In the above, each dstring component of a postal
address value is encoded as a value of type
DirectoryString syntax. Backslashes and dollar
characters, if they occur in the component, are quoted.
Many servers limit the postal address to six lines of up
to thirty characters. For example:
1234 Main St.$Anytown,TX 12345$USA
( ). So, an entry for a person named Babs Jensen has the following
