NumericString
In ASN.1, numeric string is just a string of digits and spaces and
could be empty. However, in X.500, all attribute values of numeric
string carry a non-empty constraint. Unfornately, some assertion
values are don't carry this constraint (but its unclear how such
an assertion could ever be true). In LDAP, there is one syntax
(numericString) not two (numericString with constraint, numericString
without constraint). This should be treated as numericString with
non-empty constraint.
string carry a non-empty constraint. For example:
internationalISDNNumber ATTRIBUTE ::= {
WITH SYNTAX InternationalISDNNumber
EQUALITY MATCHING RULE numericStringMatch
SUBSTRINGS MATCHING RULE numericStringSubstringsMatch
ID id-at-internationalISDNNumber }
InternationalISDNNumber ::= NumericString (SIZE(1..ub-international-isdn-number))
Unfornately, some assertion values are don't carry the same constraint
(but its unclear how such an assertion could ever be true). In LDAP,
there is one syntax (numericString) not two (numericString with constraint,
numericString without constraint). This should be treated as numericString
with non-empty constraint. Note that while someone may have no
ISDN number, there are no ISDN numbers which are zero length.
In matching, spaces are ignored.
PrintableString
In ASN.1, Printable string is just a string of printable characters and
can be empty. In X.500, semantics much like NumericString excepting
uses insignificant space handling instead of ingore all spaces.
can be empty. In X.500, semantics much like NumericString (see serialNumber
for a like example) excepting uses insignificant space handling instead of
ignore all spaces.
IA5String
Basically same as PrintableString.
Basically same as PrintableString. There are no examples in X.500, but
same logic applies. So we require them to be non-empty as well.
