1.3.8. Adding an Attribute Subtype
There are three different kinds of subtypes to attributes which can be added to an entry:
language, binary, and pronunciation.
1.3.8.1. Language Subtype
Sometimes a user's name can be more accurately represented in characters of a language
other than the default language. For example, a user, Noriko, has a name in Japanese and
prefers that her name be represented by Japanese characters when possible. You can select
Japanese as a language subtype for the givenname attribute so that other users can search for
her name in Japanese as well as English. For example:
givenname;lang-ja
To specify a language subtype for an attribute, add the subtype to the attribute name as follows:
attribute;lang-subtype:attribute value
attribute is the attribute being added to the entry and subtype is the two character abbreviation
for the language. The supported language subtypes are listed in Table D.2, “Supported
Language Subtypes”.
Only one language subtype can be added per attribute instance in an entry. To assign multiple
language subtypes, add another attribute instance to the entry, and then assign the new
language subtype. For example, the following is illegal:
cn;lang-ja;lang-en-GB:value
Instead, use:
cn;lang-ja:ja-value
cn;lang-en-GB:value
1.3.8.2. Binary Subtype
Assigning the binary subtype to an attribute indicates that the attribute value is binary, such as
user certificates (usercertificate;binary).
