2.55. gecos

The gecos attribute is used to determine the GECOS field for the user. This is comparable to the
cn attribute, although using a gecos attribute allows additional information to be embedded in the
GECOS field aside from the common name. This field is also useful if the common name stored in the
directory is not the user's full name.
gecos: John Smith
NOTE
The gecos attribute is defined in 10rfc2307.ldif in the Directory Server. To use
the updated RFC 2307 schema, remove the 10rfc2307.ldif file and copy the
10rfc2307bis.ldif file from the /usr/share/dirsrv/data directory to the /etc/
dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/schema directory.
