Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-434:
-------------------------------------------

- Added syntax 2.5.5.10 to binary syntaxes
- Added attribute types objectGUID (1.2.840.113556.1.4.2) and objectSid (1.2.840.113556.1.4.146) to binary attributes
- Also improved process of reading the schema because there was another issue: We read the schema from the server and parse object classes, attribute types, matching rules and syntaxes to schema objects. Active Directory schema only provides object clases and attribute types, but no syntaxes and no matching rules. The problem is that although both objectGUID and objectSid contain a syntax OID it is considered as invalid because the target syntax object does not exist. I fixed that by creating pseudo syntax and matching rule objects in such a case.

> When viewing an Active Directory entry objectGUID attributes are not displayed, and it is also not possible to edit them. Same for objectSid, both have the same syntax OID. The entry editor just shows "Invalid Data" for them.
> The attributes have binary values. They could be displayed either in hex format (and the hex format can be used in searches as well, with a backslash in front of every two hex digits), or using the preferred Microsoft format, which is just the hex format shuffled and delimited with dashes.
> Here are a couple of articles that show how to convert from hex to the Microsoft format:
