!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [LDAPSyntaxes] for [Distinguished Name] ([DN]) of an [LDAP Entry] as defined in [RFC 4512].
The [OID] for [{$pagename}] is [1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12]
The LDAP-specific encoding of a value of this [{$pagename}] is defined by the [distinguishedName] rule from the [String Representation of Distinguished Names] ([RFC 4514]).
[Examples] (from [RFC 4514]):
* UID=jsmith,DC=example,DC=net
* OU=Sales+CN=J. Smith,DC=example,DC=net
* CN=John Smith\, III,DC=example,DC=net
* CN=Before\0dAfter,DC=example,DC=net
* 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,DC=example,DC=com
* CN=Lu\C4\8Di\C4\87
[Distinguished Name Case Sensitivity] is not consistent across [LDAP Server Implementations]
[String Representation of Distinguished Names] ([RFC 4514]) may also be of interest.
The [{$pagename}] corresponds to the [DistinguishedName] [ASN.1] type from [X.501]. Note that a [BER] encoded distinguished name (as used by [X.500]) re-encoded into the LDAP-specific encoding is not necessarily reversible to the original [BER] encoding since the chosen string type in any DirectoryString components of the [Distinguished Name] is not indicated in the LDAP-specific encoding of the distinguished name. (see Section 3.3.6 of [RFC 4517]).
!! [Microsoft Active Directory Syntax]
[Microsoft Active Directory] has a few [{$pagename}]s
* [2.5.5.1] [Microsoft Active Directory] [2.5.5.1] appears to be the same as [1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12] [Microsoft] also uses "DN String" as a name.
* [2.5.5.7] [DNWithOctetString] is also defined as [1.2.840.113556.1.4.903] in [Draft-armijo-ldap-syntax-00]
* [2.5.5.14] [DNWithString] is also defined as [1.2.840.113556.1.4.904] in [Draft-armijo-ldap-syntax-00]
[2.5.5.1] This [string] syntax can be used for [Linked Attributes]. [BackLink] [MUST] be of syntax [2.5.5.1]. [Forward links] can be of syntax DN (as well as [DNWithString], [DNWithBinary], [AccessPointDN], or [OR-Name]. [Linked attributes] [MUST] have a [linkID] defined. properties.
