The Format of LDAP Name  is like that of e-mail id.

The mail attribute is defined in RFC 2798 as having a minimum upper
bound of 256 characters. In other words your database field needs to
be *at least* 256 characters wide. That definition appears to have
been taken from RFC 1274.

There is no such definition in RFC 2798. This RFC only refers to
attribute type mail as a MAY clause in inetorgPerson object class.

Check section 9.1.3. But as Kurt points out, see RFC 4524 instead.

Cheers,

Chris
