NOTE Making the CoS template entry an instance of the
object classes allows ordinary searches to be performed unhindered
by the configuration entries. However, if the template entry already
exists and is used for something else (for example, if it is a user
entry), you do not need to make it an instance of the
object class.
The CoS template entry also contains the attribute generated by the CoS (as
specified in the
cosAttribute
for that attribute.
For example, a CoS template entry that provides a value for the
attribute follows:
dn:cn=exampleUS,cn=data,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: extensibleobject
objectclass: cosTemplate
postalCode: 44438
It is possible to create CoS templates that compete with each other to provide an
attribute value. For example, you might have a multi-valued
your CoS definition entry. In such a case, you can specify a template priority on
each template entry to determine which template provides the attribute value. Set
the template priority using the
global priority of a particular template. A priority of zero is the highest priority.
