For our openldap server we created custom attributes by giving random OIDs like 2.25.10.1, 2.25.10.100.10 etc . We are able to add custom attributes and the LDAP server is working fine.
Please let us know is there any issue in giving random OIDs for attributes and object classes. Also is there any issue in future while using this. Can anyone please advise us on this.
Also I came to know that we can create OIDs without registering. From this site http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/asn1/cgi-bin/uuid_generate I can create UUID but from where I can convert this UUID to OID?
Suppose when we convert this UUID to decimal shall we can use it permanently without any issue? Please help us on it
Thanks

That's not how OID arc 2.25 is supposed to work.

OID conflicts.

Why don't you get your own IANA enterprise number? In your own OID arc you can assign any OID you want.

Convert it yourself, e.g. with Python
import uuid my_id = int(uuid.UUID('97701b20-c941-11e2-8299-0002a5d5c51b'))
Suppose when we convert this UUID to decimal shall we can use it permanently without any issue?
Every's written on the web page you've cited. There's a small chance for UUIDs conflicts.
Ciao, Michael.

Dear Ciao, Michael.
Thanks for your update. I have fill out the form in http://pen.iana.org/pen/PenApplication.page. Mean time I also created OID using generated UUID with the help of a java program.

Dear Michael
Our company already have an OID and is listed in http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers . Suppose it is 42001 we can use OID for our attributes and objectclass are as follows right?
1.3.6.1.4.1.42001.10 1.3.6.1.4.1.42001.110.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.42001.101.2
Is this correct? Can anyone please update it.
Thanks Geo

Yes. Within your own OID arc you can assign any OIDs and structure subordinate OID arcs just as you need it.
