Re: Matching Rules for Constructed Syntaxes
Steven
Being an editor of a current ID on LDAP schema and matching rules
for PKIX, I find your approach very appealing. Having to write
potentially dozens of new matching rules for certs and CRLs, that
all do very similar things, a generic way of describing this has
significant benefits from a documentation point of view. I am
certainly prepared to use your work in the PKIX schema ID, if there
is general approval for it to procede.
I also think the work should be part of LDAPExt as we need this
type of matching rule to be core to LDAP implementations, and not
application specific. In this way many applications can benefit from
the technology provided by a central LDAP server.
