This dialog box allows you to create new attributes or edit existing ones.
Attribute name. A unique string that identifies the attribute you are creating.
Attribute OID (optional). The Attribute OID field is an optional field that you can use to supply an object identifier (OID) for the new attribute. If you do not supply an OID, the directory automatically uses attribute_name
-oid
. For example, if you create a new attribute calledbirthdate
, the default OID isbirthdate-oid
.Attribute aliases (optional). You can specify a nickname for the new attribute. For example,
cn
is an alias for theCommonName
attribute.Attribute description (optional). Enter a short description of the new attribute.
Syntax. Select a syntax that describes the data to be held by the attribute. Available syntaxes are Integer, IA5String, Case Exact String, Case Ignore String, URI, GeneralizedTime, DistinguishedName (DN), TelephoneNumber, Boolean, Binary, DirectoryString, CountryName, PostalAddress, and Octet String. For a description of each syntax, see the Red Hat Schema Reference Guide. The default value is DirectoryString.
Multi-valued. When selected, this option specifies that the attribute you are creating is multi-valued, meaning an entry may contain more than one instance of this attribute.
