Schema
The OpenVMS Enterprise Directory uses a
highly configurable schema allowing customer
definition of attributes, object classes, structure
rules, and name forms. The schema is installed
individually at each DSA.
V5.6 supports extensions to the schema object
classes and attributes to support the OpenVMS
LDAP SYS$ACM Authentication Agent, as
the first step in enabling network
authentication across an OpenVMS
environment.
A default schema that implements the schema
in X.520 and X.521 (1995 edition) as well as
other useful definitions such as inetOrgPerson
ObjectClass as defined in RFC2798 are
included.
Security
To ensure the secure read and update access to
directory information throughout the network,
the Draft Behera password policy is supported.
