This object can be used by services that need to store information about entities outside of the eDirectory tree. For example, a messaging service that can send messages to E-mail users outside of the eDirectory tree needs to store address information about those E-mail users.

Such a messaging service can use External Entity objects to store information about E-mail users who exist on other systems. It can then use the objects’ names in distribution lists that are List objects.

For LDAP clients to access this class, the LDAP server must map this class to a name that contains no spaces or colons.
