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).
