RE: Sendmail and Oracle Internet Directory

Rich,

         I am trying to import the sendmail.schema file from sendmail.org. The problem is that it contains a matching rule called caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch which OID doesn't support. There is a caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch rule. I don't know if the IA5 part is important to sendmail.

Oracle's response is "you can't add it and any attempts to add it are unsupported."
>You can add new object classes and objects by modifying subSchemaSubentry.
>You cannot, however, add new matching rules and syntaxes beyond those
>already supported by Oracle Internet Directory. "

>You cannot add caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch, nor can you modify existing
>Matching Rules. Attempting to add or modify existing Matching Rules is not
>supported.
