Hi guys,
the following Syntax are missing in the cn=subschema LDAPSyntaxes list,
while those syntaxes are refered by many ATs :
AttributeTypeDescription
DataQualitySyntax
DSAQualitySyntax
EnhancedGuide
Fax
Guide
LdapSyntaxDescription
MatchingRuleDescription
MatchingRuleUse Description
ObjectClassDescription
PresentationAddress
ProtocolInformation
TeletexTerminalInformation
I guess that the server does not care too much as most of those Syntax
(and associated AT) are not manipulated frequently by users, and the
server might have a default handling of AT without syntax. In Apache
Directory Studio and the Java LDAP API, it's a bit more annoying, as we
try to load the full schema from the server to locally check that values
are correct before sending them back to the server. We have a mechanism
to 'bypass' the missing syntaxes, of course, but I think that from a
completness POV, it would be better if OpenLDAP add those missing
syntaxes...
Does it deserver an ITS ?
