Mapping Your Data To The Default Schema; Viewing The Default Directory Schema - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 7.1 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

Mapping Your Data to the Default Schema

• A set of allowed attributes.
For an example of a standard object class as it appears in the schema, refer to
"Schema Format," on page 44.
As is the case for all of the Directory Server's schema, object classes are defined
and stored directly in Directory Server. This means that you can both query and
change your directory's schema with standard LDAP operations.
Mapping Your Data to the Default Schema
The data you identified during your site survey, as described in "Performing a
Site Survey," on page 30, must be mapped to the existing directory default
schema. This section describes how to view the existing default schema and
provides a method for mapping your data to the appropriate existing schema
elements.
If you find elements in your schema that do not match the existing default
schema, you may need to create custom object classes and attributes. Refer to
"Customizing the Schema," on page 50, for more information.
