Base32 Parameter Names

Base32 Parameter Names

Some attributes names in the applicative configuration, such a those related to dimensions identification, are written using a Base32 representation of numbers.

Identity Manager uses flavor of base32 known as base32hex described in the RFC4648.

It uses 10 digits from 0 to 9 and 22 letters from A to V to represent numbers.

The following table shows the decimal - base32hex equivalent for the first 127 numbers.

3V127

For example, dimensions are identified by a number going from 0 to 127 in decimal representation and 0 to 3V in base32hex representation.

The Context Rule support 128 dimension parameters going from B0 to B3V using the base32hex0 to 3V numbers to identify a dimension.
