["anis" <anbenham@web.de>]

Hi,

which attribute syntax type should I use to define ID´s. My  ID´s are
alphanumeric literals without spaces. For example: anis  or  anis45 or
ani45s  a.s.o.
I have used the object identifier syntax, which is actually wrong :(

Is it possible to limit the size of an attribute? for instance say it should
have a maximum of 8 letters?

Best rtegards

"id" has syntax OID (and objectIdentifierMatch EQUALITY rule);
"myAppl" is not a valid OID.  So the DN is invalid per syntax.
