For the previous directory server which we used we had not used any specific OIDs.Now for openLDAP i need to have a specific OID.
I have tried out all possible sample OIDs and have failed.........so now i have gone back to my usual string instead of an OID,,,,like,,,
attributetype( ssarole-oid NAME 'ssarole' DESC 'This attribute defines the role' SYNTAX 'cis' MULTI-VALUE )
discriptors to identify a syntax are not used in LDAP. You really should read a good book on LDAP to understand the protocol and schema design, in particular syntax specifications. I have pointed you already to RFC-4517 (Syntaxes and Matching Rules). For a first start you could read http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.html http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/schema.html http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl
