Attribute Syntax
Definition
Indicates that values for this attribute are binary.
Indicates that this attribute has one of only two
values: True or False.
Indicates that values for this attribute are limited
to exactly two printable string characters; for
example, US.
Indicates that values for this attribute are DNs.
Indicates that values for this attribute are not
case sensitive.
Indicates that values for this attribute are
encoded as printable strings. The time zone
must be specified. It is strongly recommended to
use GMT time.
Indicates that values for this attribute are case
sensitive.
Indicates that valid values for this attribute are
numbers.
Same behavior as binary.
Indicates that values for this attribute are
encoded according to
postal-address = dstring * ("$"
dstring)
where each dstring component is encoded as a
value of type DirectoryString syntax.
Backslashes and dollar characters, if they occur,
are quoted, so that they will not be mistaken for
line delimiters. Many servers limit the postal
address to 6 lines of up to thirty characters. For
example:
1234 Main St.$Anytown, TX 1234$USA
Indicates that values for this attribute are in the
form of telephone numbers. It is recommended
to use telephone numbers in international form.
