Hello gurus,
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 ?
Looks like a bug, schema_init.c doesn't list Country String as a compatible syntax here. You should submit an ITS for this.
Thanks in advance
