Chapter 5
Editing Entry Types
This chapter describes how entry type formats — defined by object classes and their
attributes — can be controlled by editing parameters in the
dsgw.conf file. The chapter
contains the following sections:
• Entry Types (Object Classes) (page 55)
• Mapping Locations and Entry Types (page 57)
• Object Class Attributes in Template Files (page 59)
Entry Types (Object Classes)
The following sections describe entry types in detail:
• Parameters Controlling Entry Types
• Considerations for Adding New Entry Types
Parameters Controlling Entry Types
The functionality of entry types appearing on gateway forms are controlled by parameters
stored in
dsgw.conf:
• Template parameter settings determine the types of objects that can be created and the
attributes supported for object classes.
• Newtype parameter settings determine the DN formats to be applied to new entries.
• Location parameter settings determine where in the directory new entries reside.
Parameters in the
dsgw.conf file are described in Appendix A, “Parameters Defined in the
.conf File.”
