The UUID Attribute Syntax defines a syntax for attribute values that can hold values that represent universally unique identifiers (UUIDs).
In most cases, values of attributes with a UUID syntax can be compacted to either 16 or 17 bytes. Values which do not contain any uppercase characters will be compacted to 16 bytes, which is just the raw representation of the hexadecimal values included in the UUID. Values in which all allowed alphabetic characters are expressed in uppercase will be 17 bytes, which will be a single-byte prefix (to indicate the use of uppercase characters) and the 16 bytes comprising the compacted value. Values that contain a mix of uppercase and lowercase characters will not be compacted.

The UUID 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 |
| 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 Proxy 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. |
