I have a patch ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/pierangelo-masarati-x-subst-2008-09-16.patch that implements support for "ldapsyntax" (slapd.conf) and "olcLdapSyntaxes" (back-config) in order to allow run-time configuration of syntaxes that have NULL handlers and thus need to have the X-SUBST extension in place.

You rock! I'll give it a try.

ldapsyntax ( <my-syntax-oid> NAME 'MySyntax' DESC 'this is the description' X-SUBST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 )

Looking at RFC 4512 the SyntaxDescription does not mention NAME (although I'd appreciate it would).

Ciao, Michael.
