Directory Server Schema

Directory Server comes with a standard schema that includes hundreds of object classes and attributes. While the standard object classes and attributes should meet most of your requirements, you might need to extend the schema by creating new object classes and attributes. For an overview of the standard schema and for instructions on designing schema to suit your deployment, see the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Deployment Planning Guide.

This chapter describes how to manage your schema and covers the following topics:

• Managing Schema Checking
