Parameter
Default Value
Syntax
Example
3.4.5.3. nsMatchingRule
This optional, multi-valued attribute specifies the ordering matching rule name or OID used to match
values and to generate index keys for the attribute. This is most commonly used to ensure that
equality and range searches work correctly for languages other than English (7-bit ASCII).
This is also used to allow range searches to work correctly for integer syntax attributes that do not
specify an ordering matching rule in their schema definition. uidNumber and gidNumber are two
commonly used attributes that fall into this category.
For example, for a uidNumber that uses integer syntax, the rule attribute could be
nsMatchingRule: integerOrderingMatch.
NOTE
Any change to this attribute will not take effect until the change is saved and the index
is rebuilt using db2index, which is described in more detail in the "Managing Indexes"
chapter of the Directory Server Administrator's Guide).
