Schema

The directory schema defines the data that can be stored in the directory. The schema definition is stored in two files:

slapd.oc.conf defines the object classes. These specify the types of entries permitted and their mandatory and optional attributes.
slapd.at.conf contains attribute definition information:
  Syntax used for any attribute that does not use case-ignore string (cis) syntax
  Alternate names for some attributes
  List of naming attributes
  slapd.at.conf does not contain the names of all the attributes. The attributes that are not listed in slapd.at.conf do not have alternate names and all use case-ignore string syntax.

Note - This section provides definitions for many of the object classes and attributes in the directory schema, including all the most commonly-used items. If you view the schema using the Administration Console, you might see items that are not documented here.
