OpenLDAP Quick Tips: Get Your Own Private Enterprise Number for LDAP Schemas
Friday, November 21. 2008
Hi All,
Here's my 8th tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series:
"You want to create your own LDAP[?] Schema for your directory server":
The golden rule:
Under no circumstances should you hijack name space belonging to others!
When you want to extend or create one yourself, get your own OID or PEN using the Private Enterprise Number (PEN) Request Template.
It takes around 2 weeks and you will then always be listed on the PRIVATE ENTERPRISE NUMBERS page if you forget the number and it means your namespace will never clash with others.
Anyone in the LDAP field that is worth their salt should be listed, we are (Suretec Systems Ltd.).
Thanks,
Gavin.

Thus, as my company is registered in England and it has registration number 3458854 it is automatically assigned the OID 1.2.826.0.1.3458854
The main problem in large organisations is to find out who is reponsible for allocating OIDs under the assigned root, wherever it came from!
What woudl a Scottish company do, as our number is SC258005, just the 258005?
Thanks.
