Title: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Syntaxes and Matching Rules
State: Active
Authors: Kathy Dally, Steven Legg
Group: LDAP (v3) Revision (ldapbis)
Date: 2004-10-08
Each attribute stored in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory, and whose values may be transfered in the LDAP protocol, has a
defined syntax which constrains the structure and format of its values. The
comparison semantics for values of a syntax are not part of the syntax
definition but are instead provided through separately defined matching
rules. Matching rules specify an argument, an assertion value, which also
has a defined syntax. This document defines a base set of syntaxes and
matching rules for use in defining attributes for LDAP directories.
