3.0 NDS DTD

The NDS™ document type definition file ( nds.dtd) defines the schema of the XML documents that the Identity Manager engine can process. XML documents that do not conform to this schema generate errors.

The nds.dtd file defines the following:

Input and output commands and events (such as add, delete, modify, and rename) that can be performed on entries and the data that must be included with each.
Driver initialization operations (such as authentication information, driver filter, configuration options, and state) for the driver shim, publisher shim, and subscriber shim and the data that these operations require.
Schema operations for defining class and attribute definitions.
Rules for schema mapping, matching, creation, and placement.

Remember the following when reading a DTD file:

Marker	Meaning
?	0 or 1 of these can be included.
+	1 or more of these must be included.
*	0 or more of these can be included.
CDATA	Character data.
PCDATA	Parsed character data.
<!	Beginning of an element, entity, or attribute definition.
>	End of an element, entity, or attribute definition.

See NDS DTD Elements for a list of all of the elements in the NDS DTD.
