About CoS

Figure 5.3. Sample Classic CoS
In this example, the CoS definition entry's
cosSpecifier
attribute specifies the
employeeType
attribute. This attribute, in combination with the template DN, identify the template entry as
cn=sales,cn=exampleUS,cn=data
. The template entry then provides the value of the
postalCode
attribute to the target entry.
5.2.1.6. Searches for CoS-Specified Attributes
CoS definitions provide values for attributes in entries. For example, a CoS can set the
postalCode
attribute for every entry in a subtree. Searches against those CoS-defined attributes, however, do not
behave like searches against regular entries.
• If the CoS-defined attribute is indexed with any kind of index (including presence), then any attribute
with a value set by the CoS is not returned with a search. For example:
• The
postalCode
attribute for Ted Morris is defined by a CoS.
• The
postalCode
attribute for Barbara Jensen is set in her entry.
• The
postalCode
attribute is indexed.
If an
ldapsearch
command uses the filter
(postalCode=*)
, then Barbara Jensen's entry would
be returned, while Ted Morris's would not.
• If the CoS-defined attribute is
not
indexed, then every matching entry is returned in a search,
regardless of whether the attribute value is set locally or with CoS. For example:
• The
postalCode
attribute for Ted Morris is defined by a CoS.
• The
postalCode
attribute for Barbara Jensen is set in her entry.
• The
postalCode
attribute is
not
indexed.
