Attribute type

A schema's attribute type specification defines the following properties:

• The attribute type name
• A unique object ID that identifies the attribute type
• (Optional) An indication of whether the type is single-valued or multivalued (the default is multivalued)
• The attribute syntax and matching rules (such as case sensitivity)

The attribute type definition can also determine limits on the range or size of values that the type represents, or provide an application-specific usage indicator. For standard attributes, a registered numeric ID specifies the syntax and matching rule information. For more information on attribute syntaxes, see ETF RFC 2252 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2252.txt.

Operational attributes, such as creatorsName or modifyTimeStamp, are managed by the directory service and cannot be changed by user applications.
