Values of matchingRules Attribute
Hi -
We are beta testing The Open Group's VSLDAP test suite, and the following
question has been raised. Input from ldapbis experts would be much appreciated.
Must a server maintain values of the matchingRules attribute for standard
matching rules such as presence or equality?
RFC 2252 says:
5.1 Standard Operational Attributes
Servers MUST maintain values of these attributes in accordance with
the definitions in X.501(93)
...
5.1.8 matchingRules
This attribute is typically located in the subschema entry
It doesn't specify whether the attribute values must include values for
standard attributes. I took a look at X.501, and couldn't find a clear
statement there either. I would have assumed, unless it said otherwise,
that there would be values for the standard rules - but experience has
taught me that such assumptions are dangerous.
Please give me your views!
Regards,
Chris
