5.2.3.1. Creating the CoS Definition Entry from the Command-Line
Each type of CoS requires a particular object class to be specified in the definition entry. All CoS
definition object classes inherit from the
LDAPsubentry
object class and the
cosSuperDefinition
object class.
Table 5.2, “CoS Definition Entry Object Classes”
lists the object classes associated with
each type of CoS definition entry.
CoS Type Object Classes Description
Pointer CoS cosPointerDefinition Identifies the template entry
associated with the CoS
definition using the template
entry's DN value. The DN of the
template entry is specified in
the
cosTemplateDn
attribute.
