I have an openLDAP installed on my server. Please refer image below for the details.

My OpenLDAP version

My issue is that i can't find middlename attribute under inetOrgPerson object class, which is needed for my use case. I tried to search for oid and syntax so that i'll try to add a new attribute to inetOrgPerson, but i can't find too and not sure if it's possible. I saw here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/adschema/a-middlename and the attribute id is : 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.34 and tried to compare it to here : https://ldap.com/ldap-oid-reference-guide/ but the oid is ref Attribute Type. My question is how can i get the middlename attribute in openLDAP?

You have to define your own object class mentioning middleName as optional attribute in MAY clause (or MUST to make it mandatory).

You have two options:

  • Define a custom STRUCTURAL object class with SUP inetOrgPerson
  • Define a custom AUXILIARY object class which you can add to existing inetOrgPerson entries.

Note that OpenLDAP strictly follows rules in RFC 4512 disallowing changing a structural object class of existing entries.
