Syntax

  #include <nwnet.h> 
  or 
  #include <nwdssch.h> 
   
  N_EXTERN_LIBRARY (NWDSCCODE)  NWDSDefineClass  ( 
     NWDSContextHandle   context,  
     pnstr8              className,  
     pClass_Info_T       classInfo,  
     pBuf_T              classItems); 
  

  uses netwin32 
   
  Function NWDSDefineClass 
    (context : NWDSContextHandle; 
     className : pnstr8; 
     classInfo : pClass_Info_T; 
     classItems : pBuf_T 
  ) : NWDSCCODE;
  

Parameters

context

(IN) Specifies the NDS context for the request.

className

(IN) Points to the name of the new object class.

classInfo

(IN) Points to the class flags and ASN.1 ID for the new class.

classItems

(IN) Points to the remaining class definition.

Return Values

These are common return values.

Remarks

The name of the new object class must be unique within the eDirectory schema class definitions. The names of the classes for the base schema are listed in Base Object Class Definitions. New object classes added by other applications must be read from the schema on a server by calling NWDSReadClassDef.

New object class names should be cleared through Novell Developer Support to guarantee uniqueness.

The classItems parameter points to a request buffer containing additional information that defines the object. This buffer contains a sequence of five lists containing either class names or attribute names. The lists must occur in the following order.

For step-by-step instructions, see Creating a Class Definition.
