I'm attempting to add a mail-routing draft schema
(draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt) to FDS.
The schema can be found here (among other places):
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/laser.txt
In an unusual and unfortunate coincidence, the mailRoutingAddress OID
defined by the schema is the same as the OID for 'ntGroupType', which is
defined in FDS' 50ns-directory.ldif schema.
From 50ns-directory.ldif:
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.47
NAME 'ntGroupType'
DESC 'Netscape defined attribute type'
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
SINGLE-VALUE
X-ORIGIN 'Netscape NT Synchronization'
)
The OID arc belongs to Netscape Directory server, and was submitted to
alvestrand on Feb 11 1999:
http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/2.16.840.1.113730.3.html
From draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt:
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.47
NAME 'mailRoutingAddress'
DESC 'RFC 822 address to use when routing messages to
the SMTP MTA of this recipient'
EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}'
SINGLE-VALUE
)
This expired draft was first written in May 1999 by H. Lachman at
Netscape:
http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-00.txt
He was correct to use the Netscape ARC, and I don't see a more
appropriate section:
http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/2.16.840.1.113730.html
I can't say which came first, the draft, or the Netscape Messaging
Server 4, which brought that schema, (as far as I can tell).
The most obvious solution is to change the OID of one of these. But
which one should be changed, and to what?
There's probably not really a single right answer, but if anyone else
has happened to run into this, I'd be interested to hear how you
resolved it.
I would say that the OID from the mail routing draft should be changed
and you should file an "ITS" (bug report) at the OpenLDAP site. The
conflicting OID is a company private OID, and is from an expired draft.
