Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide • August 2002
There are 3 types of CoS, defined using three types of CoS definition entries:
•
Pointer CoS—A pointer CoS identifies the template entry using the template
DN only.
•
Indirect CoS—An indirect CoS identifies the template entry using the value of
one of the target entry’s attributes. For example, an indirect CoS might specify
the
manager
attribute of a target entry. The value of the
manager
attribute is
then used to identify the template entry.
The target entry’s attribute must be single-valued and contain a DN.
•
Classic CoS—A classic CoS identifies the template entry using a combination of
the template entry’s base DN and the value of one of the target entry’s
attributes.
For more information about the object classes and attributes associated with each
type of CoS, refer to “Managing CoS From the Command Line,” on page 184.
If the CoS logic detects that an entry contains an attribute for which the CoS is
generating values, by default the CoS supplies the client application with the
attribute value in the entry itself. However, you can use the CoS definition entry to
control this behavior.
About the CoS Template Entry
The CoS template entry contains the value or values of the attributes generated by
the CoS logic. The CoS template entry contains a general object class of
cosTemplate
. The CoS template entries for a given CoS are stored in the directory
tree along with the CoS definition.
The relative distinguished name (RDN) of the template entry is determined by one
of the following:
•
The DN of the template entry alone.
This type of template is associated with a pointer CoS.
•
The value of one of the target entry’s attributes.
The attribute used to provide the relative DN to the template entry is specified
in the CoS definition entry using the
cosIndirectSpecifier
attribute. This
type of template is associated with an indirect CoS.
•
By a combination of the DN of the subtree where the CoS performs a one level
search for templates and the value of one of the target entry’s attributes.
This type of template is associated with a classic CoS.
