Remarks

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

For the Top class and all of its subordinate classes, this attribute is mandatory.

When an object is created, a single initial value for object class must be specified. When the server creates the object, it expands the value set of the object class attribute to include all of the super classes of the initially specified class.

Auxiliary classes are added to or removed from an object class by modifying the Object Class attribute.

An LDAP schema query requires extensions to return the NDS attribute constraints.
