Hi,
When you create the new attribute, just define it's syntax as
DirectoryString -> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
Example from OpenLDAP's core.schema:
attributetype ( 2.5.4.9 NAME ( 'street' 'streetAddress' )
DESC 'RFC2256: street address of this object'
EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{128} )
NOTE the {128} at the end of the syntax, defining the max length of the value in
characters.
You can put anything you want into that type. It allows matching rules of:
- caseIgnoreMatch
- caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
Note that you will need to encode binary data as base64 before adding it to
the directory.
