Re: Allowed syntax
In the Netscape Directory Server you would use a pre-operation plugin to
do this. Thus, even there you cannot do this purely in the schema.
I don't think OpenLDAP has this kind of plugin functionality (yet) and
does not support this idea in the schema. It's a hacking solution you'll
need and I would imagine that adding code to accommodate just your new
type would be relatively complex and far reaching. I could be wrong, it
could just be a table of pointers to functions, but I can see it being a
significant task.
I'd suggest an alternative data validation process.
