MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema

RFC 2927         MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema   September 2000


2. The "schema-ldap-0" MIME Directory Profile Registration

   This profile is identified by the following registration template
   information.

   To: 
   Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME profile "schema-ldap-0"

   Profile name: schema-ldap-0

   Profile purpose: To represent a schema defined for use with LDAPv3
   servers.

   Profile types: SOURCE, ldapSchemas, attributeTypes, matchingRules,
   objectClasses, matchingRuleUse, ldapSyntaxes

   Profile special notes:

   The charset parameter MUST be present on the MIME content, and the
   value of this parameter MUST be "utf-8".  This ensures that schema
   values can be used in LDAPv3 attribute values without a character set
   translation.

   Neither the "BEGIN" and "END" types nor type grouping are used in
   contents of this profile.

   All of the types in this profile with the exception of ldapSchemas
   may be multi-valued.  Each value is present on its own contentline.
   Values may be present in any order, and need not be arranged by type.

   The "SOURCE" type is optional, and if values are present they SHOULD
   be URIs of the "ldap" form.  If the URI is of the "ldap" form, the
   object indicated by the URI is a subschema entry.  The use of other
   forms are reserved for future applications.

   In this version of the profile, exactly one value of the ldapSchemas
   type MUST be present.  (Later versions of the profile may permit
   multiple ldapSchemas values to be present in a content.)

   Implementors should note that there will likely be values of the
   profile types in most contents much longer than 76 bytes.  In
   addition, there may be non-ASCII characters and embedded CRLFs inside
   of values, which could require either quoting of the value or use of
   a content transfer encoding.
