For our openldap server we created custom attributes by giving random OIDs like 2.25.10.1, 2.25.10.100.10 etc . We are able to add custom attributes and the LDAP server is working fine.

Please let us know is there any issue in giving random OIDs for attributes and object classes. Also is there any issue in future while using this. Can anyone please advise us on this.

Also I came to know that we can create OIDs without registering. >From this site http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/asn1/cgi-bin/uuid_generate I can create UUID but from where I can convert this UUID to OID?

Suppose when we convert this UUID to decimal shall we can use it permanently without any issue? Please help us on it

Thanks

Geo
