Other LDAP Namespace Issues

  • Object/attribute type names: strings vs OIDs

    e.g., "person" vs 2.5.6.6
    LDAPv3 allows either to be sent on wire, strings encouraged
    strings are flat space, no convention for avoiding collisions
    how many will define schema?

  • "Knowledge" references

    generalized glue; use still under debate
