The Attribute Type Description Attribute Syntax component inherits from the Attribute Syntax
The properties supported by this managed object are as follows:
| Basic Properties: | Advanced Properties: |
|---|---|
| ↓ enabled | ↓ require-binary-transfer |
| ↓ strip-syntax-min-upper-bound |
| Description | Indicates whether the Attribute Syntax is enabled. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
require-binary-transfer (Advanced Property)
| Description | Indicates whether values of this attribute are required to have a "binary" transfer option as described in RFC 4522. Attributes with this syntax will generally be referenced with names including ";binary" (e.g., "userCertificate;binary"). |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | The Directory Server 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. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
