Name Form Implementation

As for attribute types and object classes, name forms can be defined purely from the schema configuration files, in this case using the name form description syntax detailed in Name Form Description Format. All name form instances in the directory server are instances of the org.opends.server.types.NameForm class. Name form objects can be retrieved by the directory server schema using their OID, any of their human-readable names, or by the structural object class with which they are associated.
