An attribute type is specified by a tag string associated with the X.500<br />

attribute being represented. The <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> supports the attribute<br />

tag strings displayed in Table 13-1, which includes the most common<br />

ones recommended by RFC 2253. The tag strings are not case<br />

sensitive.<br />

The attribute value holds the actual content <strong>of</strong> the identity<br />

information, and is constrained by the associated attribute type. For<br />

the supported attribute types, Table 13-1 shows the corresponding<br />

string type (which limits the allowed set <strong>of</strong> characters) and its<br />

maximum length. For example, given “CN=Jane Smith” as a name<br />

component, the string “Jane Smith” is <strong>of</strong> type DirectoryString, and is<br />

constrained to a maximum <strong>of</strong> 64 characters. The maximum number <strong>of</strong><br />

characters allowed in a DN (that is, the number <strong>of</strong> characters for all<br />

attribute values added together) is 1024.<br />

Table 13-1 defines the allowed character set for each <strong>of</strong> the character<br />

string types used in Table 13-1.<br />
