Working With Oracle® Solaris 11.3 Directory and Naming Services: LDAP

IETF Schemas for LDAP

Schemas are definitions that describe what types of information can be stored as entries in a server's directory.

For a directory server to support LDAP naming clients, the schemas defined in this section must be configured in the server unless schema is mapped using the schema mapping feature of the clients.

IETF defines several LDAP schemas: the RFC 2307 Network Information Service (NIS) schema and RFC 2307bis, and a Configuration Profile Schema for LDAP-Based Agents (RFC 4876), and the LDAP Schema for Printer Services. To support NIS services, you must add the definition of these schemas to the directory server. You can access the RFCs on the IETF web site at http://www.ietf.org.


Note -  Internet drafts, such as RFC 2307bis, are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and might be updated, or rendered obsolete, by other documents at any time.

RFC 2307bis Network Information Service Schema

You must configure the LDAP servers to support the revised RFC 2307bis schema.

The nisSchema OID is 1.3.6.1.1. The RFC 2307bis attributes are as follows:

Mail Alias Schema

Mail alias information uses the schema defined by the Internet draft.

The original LDAP mail groups schema contains a large number of attributes and object classes. LDAP clients use only two attributes and a single object class. The mail alias attributes are as follows:

( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3
  NAME 'mail'
  DESC 'RFC822 email address for this person'
  EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
  SYNTAX 'IA5String(256)'
  SINGLE-VALUE )
 
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.30
  NAME 'mgrpRFC822MailMember'
  DESC 'RFC822 mail address of email only member of group'
  EQUALITY CaseIgnoreIA5Match
  SYNTAX 'IA5String(256)' )

The schema for the mailGroup object class is as follows:

( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.4
  NAME 'mailGroup'
  SUP top
  STRUCTURAL
  MUST mail
  MAY ( cn $ mailAlternateAddress $ mailHost $ mailRequireAuth $
   mgrpAddHeader $ mgrpAllowedBroadcaster $ mgrpAllowedDomain $
   mgrpApprovePassword $ mgrpBroadcasterModeration $ mgrpDeliverTo $
   mgrpErrorsTo $ mgrpModerator $ mgrpMsgMaxSize $
   mgrpMsgRejectAction $ mgrpMsgRejectText $ mgrpNoMatchAddrs $
   mgrpRemoveHeader $ mgrpRFC822MailMember ))
