Re: [Carbon-dev] Applying for an OID from IANA, to be used in a custom object class schema
Hi, This is to complete this thread. As per the mail received with the topic: 'Your request for a Private Enterprise Number has been completed', we are assigned the PEN: 37505. This is also available in the PEN registry at [1]. So the complete OID assigned is: *1.3.6.1.4.1.37505.* * * Although the current purpose of using this is: using it in custom object class/attributes for LDAP, as I read, we can branch the above OID and use it for various other purposes as well, such as the ones mentioned in [2]. Since, in the future, there may be requirements to use this OID for other purposes as well, it would be good to track the usage of it. I think we can start using it from *1.3.6.1.4.1.37505.1 *branch for custom object class/attributes in LDAP. ( digits will be appended to this branch further and used in each new attribute introduced.) Please let me know if a different approach should be used.

+1 for going ahead. Please use external-relati...@wso2.com as the email address for the application so we can track it and manage it properly. Thanks for seeing this thru. Of course I know nothing about LDAP so maybe someone who does should review the technical merits :). Sanjiva.
