Defining a password attributetype

[Rob Tanner]

Hi,

I need to define a secondary password attribute and I¹m not sure what to
enter in the schema.  Is the syntax oid exclusively for searching and
therefore, can I omit it (I¹m not going to be searching on the password)?
Or is the synoid also used for defining how the attribute is stored?    So
far, what I have is:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.6459.10.2.213
        NAME 'tempPassword'
        DESC 'Temporary password used for resets only'
        EQUALITY ??
        SYNTAX ??
        SINGLE-VALUE )


The attribute will be SHA encrypted digest encoded as Base64 (same as the
standard userPassword attribute).  Any guidance on the schema definition
would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob
