Adding constraints to attribute types

About this task

The PingDirectory server provides attribute type extensions that constrain the values for the associated attribute using the DirectoryString attribute syntax.

To constrain the values for an attribute:

Steps

  • Use the DirectoryString attribute syntax.

    Example:

    The following example schema definition includes two attributeType definitions for myAttr1 and myAttr2:

    • The first definition constrains the values for the attribute myAttr1 to 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz'.

    • The second definition constrains the minimum allowable length for myAttr2 to 1 and the maximum allowable length to 5.

      attributeTypes: (1.2.3.4
  NAME 'myAttr1'
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
  X-ALLOWED-VALUES ( 'foo' 'bar' 'baz' ))
attributeTypes: ( 1.2.3.5
  NAME 'myAttr2'
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
  X-MIN-VALUE-LENGTH '1'
  X-MAX-VALUE-LENGTH '5' )
