Questions tagged [oid]

Object IDentifier. A 'dot' delimited hierarchically structured node and leaf namespace. Although used in many disciplines, in system administration they are commonly used in SNMP MIBs, and for naming attributes in x.500 directories and x.509 certificate attributes.

OIDs seen by system administrators "in the wild" are typically under the IANA "Private Enterprises" hierarchy, and take the form 1.3.6.1.4.1.enterprise.<etc>, where enterprise is an IANA-assigned Private Enterprise Number, and <etc> is an internally defined hierarchy..

For additional information on OIDs, consult the Wikipedia article.

Is there reserved OID space for internal enterprise CAs?

When provisioning a PKI for internal use, is there a private OID space that can be used without having to pay and/or register your own OID range? Think RFC1918 addresses for OID ranges.
