AKBK Home :: LDAP :: Attributes :: namingContexts

Attribute:  namingContexts 

Description:
LDAP Operational Attribute

The values of this attribute correspond to naming contexts which this server masters or shadows. If the server does not master any information (e.g. it is an LDAP gateway to a public X.500 directory) this attribute will be absent. If the server believes it contains the entire directory, the attribute will have a single value, and that value will be the empty string (indicating the null DN of the root). This attribute will allow a client to choose suitable base objects for searching when it has contacted a server.

BNC Syntax: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.101.120.5 NAME 'namingContexts' Used By:

Syntax: DN

ID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12
Values in the Distinguished Name syntax are encoded to have the representation defined in [5]. Note that this representation is not reversible to an ASN.1 encoding used in X.500 for Distinguished Names, as the CHOICE of any DirectoryString element in an RDN is no longer known.
