To view the attribute syntaxes on your server, use the Schema Editor, LDAP with ldapsearch, or a third-party tool.

To view attribute syntaxes over LDAP:

To view the server’s published list of attribute syntaxes, run ldapsearch using the ldapSyntaxes attribute.
The following example uses ldapsearch to view the server’s published list of attribute syntaxes using the multi-valued operational attribute, ldapSyntaxes, which publishes the definitions on the server.

Note:
The attribute is stored in the subschema subentry.
```
$ bin/ldapsearch --baseDN cn=schema \ 
  --searchScope base "(objectclass=*)" ldapSyntaxes
```
