Remarks

When the schema definition for an auxiliary class is sent to an NDS server that is running a version of NDS previous to NDS 8, the NDS 8 server adds this attribute to the auxiliary class, removes the auxiliary class flag, and then sends the definition to the server. The NDS server running a version of NDS previous to NDS 8 can then store the definition as a standard class definition.

If an NDS 8 server receives a class definition with this attribute, it knows that the class is an auxiliary class and adds the definition to its schema as an auxiliary class.

For LDAP clients to access this attribute, the LDAP server must be configured to map the attribute to a name without spaces or colons.

For help in understanding the attribute definition template, see Reading NDS Attribute Type Definitions.
