An Example of Defining Directory Specific Information in the Object Class Definition

Directory specific information can be specified in the object class definitions as well as in optional

and mandatory attributes.

The following is an example of the object class definition with directory specific information

using the <dsSpecific> tag and XML attributes, not and only:

Line 1: <objectClassDefinition>

Line 2: <oid>1.23.456.7.89101112.1.314.1.51.7<oid>

Line 3: <name>sampleObject</name>

Line 4: <must only="ads">serverRole</must>

Line 5: <must not="ads">userPassword</must>

Line 6: <may>sampleAttribute</may>

Line 7: <dsSpecific vendor="ads">

Line 8: <field attr="systemOnly">TRUE</field>

Line 9 </dsSpecific>

Line 10: </objectClassDefinition>

For the above example, on Windows Active Directory Server, this object class has a mandatory

attribute type, serverRole, and an optional attribute type, sampleAttribute. On all other

types of directory servers, this object class has a mandatory attribute type, userPassword and

an optional attribute, sampleAttribute. On Windows Active Directory Server, this object class

has the systemOnly attribute set to TRUE.

NOTE: Directory-specific attributes and values specified in <dsSpecific> fields are not

validated. You need to ensure that the values specified in these fields are legitimate and adhere

to the LDAP directory server rules. The field value must be specified exactly as it is to appear in

the attribute type or object class definition, using single and double quotes as applicable.

Attributes and values specified in the <dsSpecific> fields override the default attribute type

and object class configurations. For example, on Windows Active Directory Server the default

value of the isDefunct attribute is set to False. If the following <dsSpecific> attribute is

defined, the specific setting will override the default setting and will result in the element being

defunct.

</dsSpecific>
