Overview#

Counter_LDAPSyntax is a LDAPSyntaxes (OID 2.16.840.1.113719.1.1.5.1.22) defined in Draft-sermersheim-nds-ldap-schema

This LDAPSyntaxes is the same as Integer (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27) except that it has the following special properties:

• Attributes using this syntax are implicitly single-valued.
• The LDAP Modify Request with a Add Modification-type will add the passed number to the value of the counter
• The LDAP Modify Request with a Delete Modification-type will subtract the passed number to the value of the counter.

Values in this syntax are encoded in the same manner as the Integer LDAP Syntaxes as in RFC 2252 section 6.16.

For example the value 11667 is represented as the character string "11667"

The following ASN.1 Data type is used to represent this syntax when transferred in BER form:

counter ::=  uint32

IntegerMatch rules apply to attributes of this syntax.
