SDL Format

0L3X-23R

The SDL format is the format used for local device authentication. This format adopts the LDIF file format, which sues the ldif file extension. LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) is used for transferring directory information between LDAP directory servers, etc.

Each record in an LDIF file is separated by at least one empty line. A record comprises multiple lines that do not include any empty lines. Each record contains an ID line (which can be omitted) and multiple entries. Each entry contains an attribute name and attribute value separated by a colon. If only blank spaces appear after the colon, that entry is ignored. However, if an entry is divided by a line break code and one space, that line break code and space are ignored. Characters after this are handled as if they are connected to the previous line, even if they are spaces. Either carriage return + line feed or line feed only can be used as the line break code. Line breaks are not allowed before the colon. Lines starting with # are ignored.

UTF-8 is used for character encoding.

Examples:

dn: uid=J00001
userPassword: {sdl}1234567890abcdefghijklmn
canonUid: 1000001
canonPwd: 1010001
cn: SampleUser01
cn;lang-ja;phonetic:
mail: SampleUser.J00001@example.co.jp
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
