For as far as I know, it depends on the server:

when you look at your schemas, you'll find the maximum lenght of the 
attribute.

e.g.:

in core.schema.default

attributetype ( 2.5.4.41 NAME 'name'
        EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
        SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{32768}
)

as you can see, there is {32768} at the end of the syntax line.  This 
number is the maximum lenght of that attribute (name in this case).

When no lenght has been specified, I suppose there is no maximum lenght, 
but I'm not sure...

hope this helps,

Raf
