Abstract
System and method for implementing a forward compatibility syntax in a directory services environment is described. In one embodiment, data comprising an attribute according to a new syntax that is supported by newer servers, but not by older servers, is separated into data with respect to which referential integrity is not a concern (hereinafter 'blob data') and data with respect to which referential integrity is a concern (hereinafter Distinguished Names ('DNs')). The two types of data are then combined according to a forward compatibility ('FC') syntax that is supported by both older and newer servers. Only certain, newer, servers understand and convert between the FC syntax and the actual new syntax; older servers are capable of supporting the FC syntax without needing to understand it.
