Does the LDAP protocol limit the length of a DN

Does the LDAP protocol specify a maximum length that a DN can take?

I've looked through https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4514 but I can't find any restrictions that it imposes.

Solution

  • No, it doesn't seem to be specified explicitly anywhere - and the Active Directory implementation also doesn't impose a max length on the DN syntax (2.5.5.1).
