eDirectory automatically adds this class (and its required attributes) to the Root object of a partition. (This class is added in addition to the base class of the object, but does not change that base class.) Most of the partition attributes are operational, so eDirectory can supply initial values for these attributes automatically.
The optional attributes, Authority Revocation, CA Private Key, CA Public Key, Certification Revocation, Convergence, and Cross Certificate Pair, were originally only in the Partition class. However, in the next eDirectory release, they were also added to the Top object class. Thus, they are now redundant in the Partition class because they are inherited from Top.
NDS 8 defines the Partition class as an auxiliary class. Previous versions of NDS define it as an effective class.
