[jira] Commented: (DIRSTUDIO-434) add value editor for Active Directory objectGUID attributes

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-434?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12654016#action_12654016 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-434:
---------------------------------------------

The problem is that Microsoft (as usual ...) is using its own syntax. Instead of using the 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 syntax, they defined a specific one (2.5.5.10) under an OID which should not be extended... Anyway, we won't change the way M$ is sabotaging the standards ...

Let's implement M$ syntaxes. The first step would be to list all of them, in order to avoid doing it again.

> When viewing an Active Directory entry objectGUID attributes are not displayed, and it is also not possible to edit them. Same for objectSid, both have the same syntax OID. The entry editor just shows "Invalid Data" for them.
> The attributes have binary values. They could be displayed either in hex format (and the hex format can be used in searches as well, with a backslash in front of every two hex digits), or using the preferred Microsoft format, which is just the hex format shuffled and delimited with dashes.
> Here are a couple of articles that show how to convert from hex to the Microsoft format:
