This is probably a stupid question, but I wonder:
In the schema definitions, neither "gn" nor "sn" have a
"syntax" attribute.
So I wonder: If an attribute has a "sup", is the syntax inherited from the
"sup" ("name" in this special case)?
Yes. Not only the syntax, also the matching rules (see RFC4512).
Furthermore when searching for (name=foo) all derived attributes with attribute
value foo will match.
web2ldap's schema browser displays all this including inherited stuff.
Ciao, Michael.
