No, although there's no length restriction for attribute syntaxes.

It's rather common to store a reference to a file (URL or file's path name) instead of storing the file itself in the LDAP directory.

You might want to look at object class 'document' (OID 0.9.2342.19200300.100.4.6) which can have an attribute 'documentLocation' (OID 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.15). See http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4524.txt for that. Well, this object class is STRUCTURAL. So you can't simply add this object class to your person entries. But you get the idea.

Ciao, Michael.
