nsslapd-enquote-sup-oc

enable superior object class enquoting

Description

Controls whether the quoting in the objectclasses attributes contained in the cn=schema entry conforms to the quoting specified by internet draft RFC 2252. By default, Directory Server does not place single quotes around the superior object class identified on the objectclasses attributes contained in cn=schema. RFC 2252 indicates that this value should not be quoted.

That is, Directory Server publishes objectclasses attributes in the cn=schema entry as follows:

objectclasses: ( 2.5.6.6
 NAME 'person'
 DESC 'Standard ObjectClass'
 SUP 'top'
 MUST ( objectclass $ sn $ cn )
 MAY ( aci $ description $ seealso $ telephonenumber $ userpassword ) )

However, RFC 2252 indicates that this attribute should be published as follows:

objectclasses: ( 2.5.6.6
 NAME 'person'
 DESC 'Standard ObjectClass'
 SUP top
 MUST ( objectclass $ sn $ cn )
 MAY ( aci $ description $ seealso $ telephonenumber $ userpassword ) )

Notice the absence of single quotes around the word top.

Turning this attribute on means that some LDAP clients will no longer function, as they require the schema as defined in RFC 2252.

Turning this attribute off causes Directory Server to conform to RFC 2252, but doing so may interfere with some earlier LDAP clients.
