Hi,
I just want to ask, how we should handle OID macros in OpenLDAP schema
files. Here is an example:
objectIdentifier NetscapeRoot 2.16.840.1.113730
objectIdentifier NetscapeLDAP NetscapeRoot:3
objectIdentifier NetscapeLDAPattributeType NetscapeLDAP:1
attributetype ( NetscapeLDAPattributeType:198
NAME 'memberURL'
DESC 'Identifies ...'
SUP labeledURI )
Right now the parser just fails if it finds an objectIdentifier line. I
see two ways:
1st)
The parser substitutes those macros internally and returns attribute
types and object classes with the resolved OIDs
2nd)
Add a new data structure for those Object Identifiers, keep the symbolic
names within attribute types and object classes and let the caller
handle the macros.
Any opinions?
Kind Regards,
Stefan
