<h4 id="rzahyibmattras">The IBMAttributeTypes attribute</h4>
<p>The IBMAttributeTypes attribute can be used to define schema information
not covered by the LDAP Version 3 standard for attributes. Values of IBMAttributeTypes
must comply with the following grammar:</p>
<pre class="xmp">IBMAttributeTypesDescription = "(" whsp
numericoid whsp
[ "DBNAME" qdescrs ] ; at most 2 names (table, column)
[ "ACCESS-CLASS" whsp IBMAccessClass whsp ]
[ "LENGTH" wlen whsp ] ; maximum length of attribute
[ "EQUALITY" [ IBMwlen ] whsp ] ; create index for matching rule
[ "ORDERING" [ IBMwlen ] whsp ] ; create index for matching rule
[ "APPROX" [ IBMwlen ] whsp ] ; create index for matching rule
[ "SUBSTR" [ IBMwlen ] whsp ] ; create index for matching rule
[ "REVERSE" [ IBMwlen ] whsp ] ; reverse index for substring
whsp ")"
IBMAccessClass =
"NORMAL" / ; this is the default
"SENSITIVE" /
"CRITICAL" /
"RESTRICTED" /
"SYSTEM" /
"OBJECT"
IBMwlen = whsp len
</pre>
<dl>
<dt class="bold">Numericoid </dt>
<dd>Used to correlate the value in attributetypes with the value
in IBMAttributeTypes.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DBNAME </dt>
<dd>You can provide 2 names at the most, if indeed 2 names are given. The
first is the table name used for this attribute. The second is the column
name used for the fully normalized value of the attribute in the table. If
you provide only one name, it is used as the table name as well as the column
name. If you do not provide any DBNAMEs, then a name based on the first seventeen
characters of the attribute name (which must be unique) is used. Database
table and column names are limited to seventeen characters.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">ACCESS-CLASS </dt>
<dd>The access classification for this attribute type. If ACCESS-CLASS
is omitted, it defaults to normal.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">LENGTH </dt>
<dd>The maximum length of this attribute. The length is expressed
as the number of bytes. Directory Server has a provision for specifying the
length of an attribute. In the attributetypes value, the string:
<pre class="xmp">( attr-oid ... SYNTAX syntax-oid{len} ... )</pre>can be used
to indicate that the attributetype with oid attr-oid has a maximum length.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">EQUALITY, ORDERING, APPROX, SUBSTR, REVERSE </dt>
<dd>If any of these attributes are used, an index is created for
the corresponding matching rule. The optional length specifies the width of
the indexed column. A single index is used to implement multiple matching
rules. The Directory Server assigns a length of 500 when one is not provided
by the user. The server can also use a shorter length than what the user requested
when it makes sense to do so. For example, when the length of the index exceeds
the maximum length of the attribute, the index length is ignored.
