Description

Auxiliary object class which, when present in an entry, permits the entry to optionally hold any attribute. The allowed attribute list of this class is implicitly the set of all attributes known to the server.

In general it is better to use a more restrictive object class when designing schema for your deployment, as the server can do very little checking for extensibleObject. In particular, a good practice for new applications is to add specific auxiliary object classes where specific new attribute sets are needed, rather than to leave everything wide open and undecided with extensibleObject.
