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 Solaris LDAP naming clients, schemas defined in this chapter must be configured in the server unless schema is mapped using the schema mapping feature of the clients.

There are three required LDAP schemas defined by IETF: the RFC 2307 Network Information Service schema, the LDAP Mailgroups Internet draft, and the LDAP Internet Print Protocol (IPP) draft schema. To support the Naming Information Service, the definition of these schemas must be added to the directory server. The various RFCs can also be accessed on the IETF Web site http://www.ietf.org.

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

RFC 2307 Network Information Service Schema

The LDAP servers must be configured to support the revised RFC 2307.

Mail Alias Schema

Mail alias information uses the schema defined by the LDAP Mailgroups Internet draft, formerly known as the draft-steinback-ldap-mailgroups draft. Until a new schema becomes available, Solaris LDAP clients will continue to use this schema for mail alias information.

The original LDAP Mailgroups schema contains a large number of attributes and object classes. Only two attributes and a single object class are used by Solaris clients. These are listed below.

The mail alias Attributes are the following.

( 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 mail alias objectClass is the following.

( 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 ))
