Re: attribute length restrictions
There is some ambiguity in this regard. The last paragraph of RFC 2252, 4.2, says:
This document refines the schema description of X.501 by requiring
that the syntax field in an AttributeTypeDescription be a string
representation of an OBJECT IDENTIFIER for the LDAP string syntax
definition, and an optional indication of the maximum length of a
value of this attribute (defined in section 4.3.2).
