Hi Tino, so far, OID parts are stored in java long, so into the interval [-2^63, 2^63-1]. You can use up to 19 digits for an element of an OID, so your sample won'ty be accepted.
If you want to generate "random" OID, what I suggest is that you store 32 bits values separated by a '.', like : 1.3.6.1.4.1.<myprivateOID>.0.<first 32 bits value>.<second 32 bits value>. ... .<last 32 bits value>. Do also remember that, in LDAP, OID are used to declare new attribute types, so creating arbitrary long OID does not make a lot of sense, but as I'm not aware of all the possible use-cases... I would be very interested to know why you need such OID values. Emmanuel On 12/28/06, Tino Schwarze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi there, is there any known limitation of OID size or the size of an OID part? I'm going to use auto-generated OIDs and they will look like: 1.3.6.1.4.1 .<myprivateOID>.0.8228681198498217497059596.0.7212074495361812662326490325180684 The OID BNF grammar doesn't specify any limits, so I'm only wondering whether there are known real-life limits. Will performance be affected by these monsters? Thank you, Tino. -- www.quantenfeuerwerk.de www.spiritualdesign-chemnitz.de www.lebensraum11.de
