In LDAP how does one know which OID arc to use in the object identifier?

  • 772

I'm new to LDAP and I'm looking to create a new user schema to hold credentials and personal information.

I've found several examples of how to do this (this for example) and they all have a string such as 1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.1.1.1 which I think is the OID arc.

The docs seem to suggest that this is something I need to register for? Is that correct or have I misunderstood?

Say my DN is dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=ie how do I know what OID arc to use to create a member schema?

    Basically you can register an OID arc by getting an IANA enterprise ID in OID arc 1.3.6.1.4.1.

    For details see ldapwiki article: How To Get Your Own OID

    The enterprise numbers are publicly available as PRIVATE ENTERPRISE NUMBERS.
