Full_Name: Cyrille MAUCCI Version: 2.4.32 OS: RHEL5 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (15.203.169.125) Hello openldap'ers, as a follow-up of our discussion on http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201307/msg00042.html, I'm creating an ITS to track the fact that slapd seems to refuse caseIgnoreMatch matching rule for Country String. Initial description of the bug can be found hereafter, to which Howard are ack'ed "Looks like a bug, schema_init.c doesn't list Country String as a compatible syntax here. You should submit an ITS for this." Many thanks in advance ++Cyrille BUG DESCRIPTION: When I have this piece of schema included in my slapd.conf file… attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.11.1.1.1.1.402 NAME ( 'TestCountryString' 'TestCountryStringSyn' ) DESC 'Test Country String' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch ORDERING caseIgnoreOrderingMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.11 SINGLE-VALUE ) … my 2.4.32 slapd –Tt complains with this error: line 8 attributetype: AttributeType inappropriate matching rule: "caseIgnoreMatch". My understanding of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4517 is that caseIgnoreMatch is valid for country string: "The caseIgnoreMatch rule compares an assertion value of the Directory String syntax to an attribute value of a syntax (e.g., the Directory String, Printable String, Country String, or Telephone Number syntax) whose corresponding ASN.1 type is DirectoryString or one of its alternative string types. " Could you confirm whether this is a bug in openldap or simply a misunderstanding from me ?
