MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 2927 MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema September 2000 2. The "schema-ldap-0" MIME Directory Profile Registration This profile is identified by the following registration template information. To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME profile "schema-ldap-0" Profile name: schema-ldap-0 Profile purpose: To represent a schema defined for use with LDAPv3 servers. Profile types: SOURCE, ldapSchemas, attributeTypes, matchingRules, objectClasses, matchingRuleUse, ldapSyntaxes Profile special notes: The charset parameter MUST be present on the MIME content, and the value of this parameter MUST be "utf-8". This ensures that schema values can be used in LDAPv3 attribute values without a character set translation. Neither the "BEGIN" and "END" types nor type grouping are used in contents of this profile. All of the types in this profile with the exception of ldapSchemas may be multi-valued. Each value is present on its own contentline. Values may be present in any order, and need not be arranged by type. The "SOURCE" type is optional, and if values are present they SHOULD be URIs of the "ldap" form. If the URI is of the "ldap" form, the object indicated by the URI is a subschema entry. The use of other forms are reserved for future applications. In this version of the profile, exactly one value of the ldapSchemas type MUST be present. (Later versions of the profile may permit multiple ldapSchemas values to be present in a content.) Implementors should note that there will likely be values of the profile types in most contents much longer than 76 bytes. In addition, there may be non-ASCII characters and embedded CRLFs inside of values, which could require either quoting of the value or use of a content transfer encoding. Wahl Informational
