EGAD!!!
I just fired up ODM on an old OID (been awhile -- forgot passwords, etc) and
sure enough: it doesn't allow you to create or modify and Matching Rules!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUGH!
I'm thinking that you could still add this with the command line tools,
though. The problem's that Oracle Corp will probably stomp over that OID
(Object ID) with one of it's proprietary matching rules or something and
you'll be S.O.L. It may also break future patches and "upgrades". If
you're using OID's f'd-up version of Replication, well that's just asking
for trouble.
Good gravy. I think you're beginning to see some of the reasons why we
dumped OID in favor of a *REAL* LDAP.
Sorry I couldn't help more. Start yelling (nicely) at your Oracle salesman!
Maybe they can get some input into The Powers That Be (or directly to the
OID product manager for anyone on this list who may have that contact <wink
wink>).

Rich,
I am trying to import the sendmail.schema file from
sendmail.org. The problem is that it contains a matching rule called
caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch which OID doesn't support. There is a
caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch rule. I don't know if the IA5 part is important
to sendmail.
Oracle's response is "you can't add it and any attempts to add it are
unsupported."
>You can add new object classes and objects by modifying subSchemaSubentry.
