For example, you might create a pointer CoS definition entry that contains an
override
qualifier as follows:
dn: cn=pointerCoS,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: cosSuperDefinition
objectclass: cosPointerDefinition
cosTemplateDn: cn=exampleUS,cn=data
cosAttribute: postalCode override
This pointer CoS definition entry indicates that it is associated with a template
entry,
cn=exampleUS,cn=data
, that generates the value of the
postalCode
attribute. The override qualifier indicates that this value will take precedence over
the value stored by the entries for the
postalCode
attribute.
For more information about the attributes, refer to the Netscape Directory Server
Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
Now that you have been introduced to the object classes and attributes used by a
CoS definition, it is time to put them together to create the definition entry itself.
Table 5-4 describes the CoS definition for each type of CoS.
NOTE
If an entry contains an attribute value generated by a CoS, you
cannot manually update the value of the attribute if it is defined
with the operational or override qualifiers.
