You can find the link from the OpenCA web site (OIDs Tree):
http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5.html
the reported sintax is:
OID value: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5
OID description:
Values in this syntax are encoded as described in section 4.3.1.
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5 DESC 'Binary' )

So as you can see it is related to the fact that OpenLDAP is v3 compliant
(I guess) and references the certificate object while netscape references
the binary as it is v2 compliant... I am not sure this is the right explanation,
if you have one that fits best let me know...
