3.4.5.5. 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.
