Object(OR-Name)

An O/R name consists of either a Directory Service Distinguished Name (DS-DN) or an O/R address. Thus if the DS-DN attribute has a value assigned, all values assigned to all other attributes (which compose an O/R address) are meaningless; but if the DS-DN attribute has no value assigned, then values should be assigned to at least some of the remaining attributes.

This OM object declaration is based on Table 57 of the X/Open X.400 API Specification, Version 2.0. Consult that specification for detailed descriptions of the meaning of each of the attributes in an O/R Address. For consistency with that specification we store domain-defined attributes in eight "small" multi-valued attributes of type String(Teletex) instead of in one "big" multi-valued attribute of type Domain-Defined-Attribute. But in a departure from X.400, instead of allowing Teletex or Printable strings as values for certain attributes, we allow only one of these two types per attribute.
