NameFormat | uint16 |
Description | string | An enumeration defining the type and format of Name. * GID: A Unix Group ID, an integer encoded as an octet string. For example, the decimal value 25 results in the octet string 0x00000005 0x19. * UID: A Unix User ID, an integer encoded as an octet string. For example, the decimal value 100 results in the octet string 0x00000005 0x64. * SID: A Windows Security ID in its native binary encoding, embedded in an octet string. For example, the SID0x01020000 0x00000005 0x20000000 0x20020000 results in the octet string 0x00000014 0x01020000 0x00000005 0x20000000 0x20020000. * DN: An LDAP Distinguished Name encoded according to the ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER), embedded in an octet string. For example, a Distinguished Name ASN.1 DER encoding that starts with the header 0x3081DE (which represents an ASN.1 SEQUENCE 0xDE = 222 bytes in length, not including the header) results in an octet string that starts with the bytes 0x000000E5 0x3081DE. The ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules are specified in X.690. * KID: A Kerberos Remote Identifier, encoded as a UTF-8 string embedded in an octet string. For example, the KID "Jane Doe" results in the octet string 0x0000000C 0x4A616E65 0x20446F65.
