Hi everyone.

How or where do I find out the max string length that I can have in the UID attribute in the inetorgperson objectclass.

I assume that the length is set by the limitations of the DB, but I cannot seem to find that information anywhere.

Or is the length defined in RFC 2798 somewhere?

thanks
