• Using a Language Tag and Suffix for the Matching Rule
Using an OID for the Matching Rule
Each locale supported by the directory server has an associated collation order
OID. For a list of locales supported by the directory server and their associated
OIDs, see Table D-1 on page 531.
You can use the collation order OID in the matching rule portion of the matching
rule filter as follows:
attr:OID:=(relational_operator value)
The relational operator is included in the value portion of the string, separated
from the value by a single space. For example, to search for all
departmentNumber
attributes that are at or after N4709 in the Swedish collation order, use the
following filter:
departmentNumber:2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.46.1:=>= N4709
Using a Language Tag for the Matching Rule
Each locale supported by the directory server has an associated language tag. For a
list of locales supported by the directory server and their associated language tags,
see Table D-1 on page 531.
You can use the language tag in the matching rule portion of the matching rule
filter as follows:
attr:language-tag:=(relational_operator value)
The relational operator is included in the value portion of the string, separated
from the value by a single space. For example, to search the directory for all
description attributes with a value of using the Spanish collation
estudiante
order, use the following filter:
cn:es:== estudiante
Using an OID and Suffix for the Matching Rule
As an alternative to using a relational operator-value pair, you can append a suffix
that represents a specific operator to the OID in the matching rule portion of the
filter. Combine the OID and suffix as follows:
attr:OID+suffix:=value
For example, to search for attributes with the value
businessCategory
in the German collation order, use the following filter:
softwareproduckte
businessCategory:2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.7.1.3:=softwareprodukte
The in the previous example is the equality suffix.
