Attributes
Attributes are the data fields in the eDirectory database. For example, if a class is like a form, then
an attribute is one field on the form. When an attribute is created, it is named (such as
surname
or
employee number
) and given a syntax type (such as
string
or
number
). From then on, it is available
in the attribute lists in Schema Manager.
Syntaxes
There are several syntax options to choose from. These are used to specify the type of data entered
for each attribute. The syntax can be specified only when an attribute is created. You cannot modify
it later. Available syntaxes include the following:
• Backlink
Used to keep track of other servers referring to an object. It is used for internal eDirectory
management purposes.
• Boolean
Used by attributes whose values are True (represented as 1) or False (represented as 0). The
single-valued flag is set for this syntax type.
• Case Exact String
Used by attributes whose values are Unicode strings that are case sensitive in comparison
operations. Two Case Exact Strings match when they are of the same length and their
corresponding characters, including case, are identical.
• Case Ignore List
Used by attributes whose values are ordered sequences of Unicode strings that are not case
sensitive in comparisons operations. Two Case Ignore Lists match if the number of strings in
each is the same and all corresponding strings match (that is, they are the same length and their
corresponding characters are identical).
• Case Ignore String
Used by attributes whose values are Unicode strings that are not case sensitive in comparison
operations. Two Case Ignore Strings match when they are of the same length and their
corresponding characters are identical in all respects except that of case.
• Class Name
Used by attributes whose values are object class names. Two Class Names match when they are
of the same length and their corresponding characters are identical in all respects except that of
case.
• Counter
Used by attributes whose values are incrementally modified numeric signed integers. Any
attribute defined using Counter is a single-valued attribute. This syntax differs from Integer in
that any value added to an attribute of this syntax is arithmetically added to the total, and any
value deleted is arithmetically subtracted from the total.
• Distinguished Name
Used by attributes whose values are the names of objects in the eDirectory tree. Distinguished
Names (DN) are not case sensitive, even if one of the naming attributes is case sensitive.
• E-mail Address
