LDAP attributes defined are specific to IBM® MQ and maps directly to the client connection properties.
- IBM MQ Client Channel Directory String Attributes
- The character string attributes with their mapping to IBM MQ properties are listed in the following table. The attributes can hold values of directoryString (UTF-8 encoded Unicode, that is, a variable byte encoding system that includes IA5/ASCII as a subset) syntax. The syntax is specified by its object identification number (OID).

- IBM MQ client connection integer attributes
- The attributes with predefined values (for example, an enumerated type) are stored as standard integers. These values are stored in the LDAP directory as integer values, and not by using the associated constant name.

- IBM MQ client channel boolean attribute
- This Boolean attribute is not mapped to any IBM MQ property. The syntax of this attribute indicates a boolean value.
Table 3. IBM MQ client channel boolean attribute
| LDAP attribute |
Description |
| ibm-amqIsClientDefault |
This boolean attribute is defined to resolve the problem of searching entries whose ibm-amqQueueManagerName attribute has not been defined. |
- IBM MQ client channel list attributes
- IBM MQ properties are stored as single-value, comma-separated list attribute within the LDAP directory. The attributes are defined in the same manner as the other directory string attributes. The list attributes along with their mapping to the IBM MQ properties are described in the following table.
