. then, sadly, there's no help in the backend either.  Like most others --
AD enforces syntax but doesn't offer a means of defining additional
constraints or acceptable values within the boundaries of each syntax.  This
is typically handled by some kind of front-end/provisioning system .

I like to think that questions are seldom stupid, while answers can

often be.  As far as I know, there is nothing simple like that in LDAP;

 

No, nothing in LDAP specs for that. Of course the OpenLDAP constraint
overlay provides exactly this function. In ActiveDirectory, you had 3
chances (and slim and fat left town...)

 

Thanks very much for everyone's responses. It's an Active Directory system I
need to deploy this in, so unfortunately OpenLDAP's angles won't be
applicable (sigh). I'll handle the data validation at the application level,
then.

 

Cheers and thanks again,
