Comparators do not have an OID specific to them. Instead they reference the OID
(numeric identifier) of the matchingRule they will be used in conjunction with. So
before a novel matchingRule can be added to the system, a comparator and a normalizer
for that comparator must be added with it's OID.
Here's what the description syntax of a comparator looks likeaccording to the ABNF:
| No Format |
|---|
ComparatorDescription = LPAREN WSP numericId ; object identifier [ SP "DESC" SP qdstring ] ; description here! SP "FQCN" SP qdstring ; fully qualified class name [ SP "BYTECODE" SP qdstring ] ; optional base64 encoded bytecode extensions WSP RPAREN ; extensions where: [numericoid] is object identifier assigned to the matchingRule associated with this comparator; DESC [qdstring] is a short descriptive string; FQCN [qdstring] is the fully qualified class name of the comparator's class; BYTECODE [base64] is the base64 encoded byte code for the comparator's class; [extensions] describe extensions. |
