This is the DirectoryString syntax. Why don't you use the OctetString
syntax (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40) insted, as you want to store
bytes ? Same for the matching rule...

Depends on what you store in the attribute. DirectoryString can obly be
a valid UTF-8 String, so if you try to store any byte which is not a
valid UTF-8 char then it will be rejected.
But again, you should use and OctetString syntax.
