Abstract

   The syntaxes of attributes in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
   (LDAP) or X.500 directory range from simple data types, such as text
   string, integer, or boolean, to complex structured data types, such
   as the syntaxes of the directory schema operational attributes.
   Matching rules defined for the complex syntaxes usually only provide
   the most immediately useful matching capability.  This document
   defines generic matching rules that can match any user selected
   component parts in an attribute value of any arbitrarily complex
   attribute syntax.
