1.  Background and Intended Use

   This document adapts additional X.500 Directory [X.500] matching
   rules [X.520] for use with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
   (LDAP) [RFC 3377].  Most of these rules are widely used today on the
   Internet, such as in support of the inetOrgPerson [RFC 2798] and
   Policy Core Information Model [RFC 3703] LDAP schemas.  The rules are
   applicable to many other applications.

   This document supersedes the informational matching rules
   descriptions provided in RFC 2798 that are now provided in this
   document.  Specifically, section 2 of this document replaces section
   9.3.3 of RFC 2798.

   Schema definitions are provided using LDAP description formats
   [RFC 2252].  Definitions provided here are formatted (line wrapped)
   for readability.

2.  Matching Rules

2.1.  booleanMatch

   The booleanMatch rule compares for equality a asserted Boolean value
   with an attribute value of BOOLEAN syntax.  The rule returns TRUE if
   and only if the values are the same, i.e., both are TRUE or both are
   FALSE.  (Source: X.520)

       ( 2.5.13.13 NAME 'booleanMatch'
         SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 )

   The BOOLEAN (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7) syntax is described in
   [RFC 2252].

2.2.  caseExactMatch

   The caseExactMatch rule compares for equality the asserted value with
   an attribute value of DirectoryString syntax.  The rule is identical
   to the caseIgnoreMatch [RFC 2252] rule except that case is not
   ignored.  (Source: X.520)
