osiWikiName attribute OID of openosi.schema for X500 / LDAP directory

Notation

This object identifier (OID) describes osiWikiName attribute of openosi.schema.

Definition

osiWikiName attribute is a container for attributes types conforming with RFC4512 specification.

DESC 'Login name using WikiName linking pattern (CamelCase)'

Most Wiki use CamelCase to generate automatic links, this is a link pattern. Wiki login name is also usually a WikiName that obviously should be unique in its context.

CamelCase is a naming convention used as markup for phrases, where:

• Spaces between words are removed
• First letter of each word is capitalized
• Others word's letters are in small cap.

The name CamelCase comes from the phrase appearance (like humps on a camel). There is currently no RFC or other general specification; it's a practice for Wiki, although it's mandatory in some programming languages. Indeed, CamelCase usage in Wiki comes from class names syntax in Smalltalk object oriented language. This usage was enforced by the first WikiWiki

Usage

Main usage is Wiki authentication using LDAP directory servers, including Microsoft Active Directory.

A common practice for Wiki login name is to concatenate First and Last name (surname), after capitalizing first letter of each. To ensure uniqueness, it may be necessary to add some digits or others letters. This is openOSI practice in its directory, where commonName, which is not supposed to be case sensitive is formed of "first name <dot> last name" with addition of some digits for uniqueness if necessary; then osiWikiName is derived from commonName, ensuring first letter of first name and surname are capitalized, others letters being in small caps, and additional suffix digits present when applicable..
