Attributes

attr-name

Specifies the attribute definition name used in the originating schema. This name is mapped between the application and eDirectory through the schema mapping rules so that eDirectory sees the attribute name in its name space and the external application sees the attribute name in its name space.

asn1id

Specifies the object ID (OID) for the attribute (optional).

type

Specifies the type of data contained in the attribute's value. Optional if the attribute contains string data. For other possible values for type, see value.

required

Specifies whether the attribute is mandatory for the class. If mandatory, the attribute requires a value in order to create an entry. The default value is "false".

naming

Specifies whether the attribute is used as part of the relative distinguished name of the entry for this base class. Default value is "false."

multi-valued

Specifies whether the attribute can have multiple values. Default value is "true".

case-sensitive

Specifies whether the value is case sensitive. Default value is "false".

read-only

Specifies whether the value is read-only. Default value is "false".

Remarks

The XML documents for schema definitions can become very large. Therefore, if the default values for the XML attributes match the attribute definition, do not specify them in the XML document.
