The Identity Data Store must be restarted for changes to this setting to take effect. Changes to this property will take effect immediately for new attribute type definitions created after the change, but the change will not take effect for existing attributes with this syntax until the server is restarted.

strip-syntax-min-upper-bound (Advanced Property)

Description
Indicates whether the suggested minimum upper bound appended to an attribute's syntax OID in its schema definition Attribute Type Description should be stripped. When retrieving the server's schema, some APIs (JNDI) fail in their syntax lookup methods, because they do not parse this value correctly. This configuration option allows the server to be configured to provide schema definitions these APIs can parse correctly.

dsconfig Usage

To list the configured Attribute Syntaxes:

dsconfig list-attribute-syntaxes

dsconfig get-attribute-syntax-prop
     --syntax-name {name}
     [--tab-delimited]
     [--script-friendly]
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

     --syntax-name {name}
     (--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}
     [(--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To create a new Attribute Type Description Attribute Syntax:

dsconfig create-attribute-syntax
     --syntax-name {name}
     --type attribute-type-description
     --set enabled:{propertyValue}
