RFC 2079 URI Attribute Type and Object Class January 1997
An example of a labeledURI attribute value that contains a tilde
character in the URL (special characters in a URL must be encoded as
specified by the URL document [1]). The label is "LDAP Home Page":
http://www.umich.edu/%7Ersug/ldap/ LDAP Home Page
Another example. This one includes a hint in the label to help the
user realize that the URL points to a photo image.

Schema Definition of the labeledURIObject Object Class
Name: labeledURIObject
Description: object that contains the URI attribute type
OID: umichObjectClass.15 (1.3.6.1.4.1.250.3.15)
SubclassOf: top
MustContain:
MayContain: labeledURI
Discussion of the labeledURIObject Object Class
The labeledURIObject class is a subclass of top and may contain the
labeledURI attribute. The intent is that this object class can be
added to existing directory objects to allow for inclusion of URI
values. This approach does not preclude including the labeledURI
attribute type directly in other object classes as appropriate.
Security Considerations
Security considerations are not discussed in this memo, except to
note that blindly inserting the label portion of a labeledURI
attribute value into an HTML document is not recommended, as this may
allow a malicious individual to include HTML tags in the label that
mislead viewers of the entire document in which the labeledURI value
was inserted.
