Directory Services 7.4.3

Seven Bit Clean Plugin

The Seven Bit Clean Plugin ensures that values for a specified set of attributes are 7-bit clean.

That is, for those attributes, the values are not allowed to contain any bytes having the high-order bit set, which is used to indicate the presence of non-ASCII characters. Some applications do not properly handle attribute values that contain non-ASCII characters, and this plug-in can help ensure that attributes used by those applications do not contain characters that can cause problems in those applications.

Parent

The Seven Bit Clean Plugin object inherits from Plugin.
