• Postal Address
Used by attributes whose values are Unicode strings of postal addresses. An attribute value for
Postal Address is typically composed of selected attributes from the MHS Unformatted Postal
O/R Address Specification version 1 according to recommendation F.401. The value is limited
to six lines of 30 characters each, including a postal country name. Two postal addresses match
if the number of strings in each is the same and all corresponding strings match (that is, they are
the same length and their corresponding characters are identical).
• Printable String
Used by attributes whose values are printable strings, as defined in CCITT X.208. The
printable character set consists of the following:
• Uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters
• Digits (0...9)
• Space character
• Apostrophe (’)
• Left and right parentheses ( )
• Plus sign (+)
• Comma (,)
• Hyphen (-)
• Period (.)
• Forward slash (/)
• Colon (:)
• Equals sign (=)
• Question mark (?)
Two printable strings are equal when they are the same length and their corresponding
characters are the same. Case is significant.
• Replica Pointer
Used by attributes whose values represent partition replicas. A partition of an eDirectory tree
can have replicas on different servers. The syntax has six components:
• Server Name
• Replica Type (master, secondary, read-only, subordinate reference)
• Replica Number
• Replica Root ID
• Number of Address
• Address Record
• Stream
Represents arbitrary binary information. The Stream syntax provides a way to make an
eDirectory attribute out of a file on a file server. Login scripts and other stream attributes use
this syntax. The data stored in a stream file has no syntax enforcement of any kind. It is
completely arbitrary data, defined by the application that created and uses it.
• Telephone Number
