• Using a Language Tag and Suffix for the Matching Rule
Using an OID for the Matching Rule
Each locale supported by the directory server has an associated collation order
OID. For a list of locales supported by the directory server and their associated
OIDs, see Table D-1 on page 541.
You can use the collation order OID in the matching rule portion of the matching
rule filter as follows:
attr
:
OID
:=(
relational_operator value
)
The relational operator is included in the value portion of the string, separated
from the value by a single space. For example, to search for all
departmentNumber
attributes that are at or after N4709 in the Swedish collation order, use the
following filter:
departmentNumber:2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.46.1:=>= N4709
Using a Language Tag for the Matching Rule
Each locale supported by the directory server has an associated language tag. For a
list of locales supported by the directory server and their associated language tags,
see Table D-1 on page 541.
You can use the language tag in the matching rule portion of the matching rule
filter as follows:
attr
:
language-tag
:=(
relational_operator value
)
The relational operator is included in the value portion of the string, separated
from the value by a single space. For example, to search the directory for all
description attributes with a value of
estudiante
using the Spanish collation
order, use the following filter:
cn:es:== estudiante
Using an OID and Suffix for the Matching Rule
As an alternative to using a relational operator-value pair, you can append a suffix
that represents a specific operator to the OID in the matching rule portion of the
filter. Combine the OID and suffix as follows:
attr
:
OID+suffix
:=
value
For example, to search for
businessCategory
attributes with the value
softwareproduckte
in the German collation order, use the following filter:
businessCategory:2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.7.1.3:=softwareprodukte
The
.3
in the previous example is the equality suffix.
