Overview#

The LDAP UUID LDAPSyntaxes has an OID or 1.3.6.1.1.16.1.

A Universally Unique Identifier UUID RFC 4122 is a 16-octet (128-bit) value that identifies an object.

The ASN.1 [X.680] type UUID is defined to represent UUIDs as follows:

       UUID ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(16))
             -- constrained to an UUID [RFC 4122]

In LDAP, UUID values are encoded using the ASCII character string representation described in RFC 4122.

For example:

597ae2f6-16a6-1027-98f4-d28b5365dc14
