Using the Schema database to add an object class to the schema

You can use the Domino® LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) to add an object class to the schema.

Before you begin

Make sure you have Manager access to the Schema database.

Open the Schema database on any server in the domain that runs the LDAP service.
Select the All Schema Documents view, then click New Document > Add Object Class.

Complete these fields on the Basics tab, and then save and close the document:

Table 1. Basics tab fields
Field	Action
LDAP name	Enter a name for the object class.
OID	Enter the object identifier.
Object Class Type	Select the type of object class.
Superior Object Class	Select the object class that is immediately superior to this one in the object class structure.
Auxiliary Object Classes	If this is a structural object class, select each auxiliary object class to use with this object class.
Description	Enter a description for the object class.
Mandatory attributes	Select the attributes that are required to have values. You cannot remove mandatory attributes displayed that are inherited from a superior object class.
Optional Attributes	Select any attributes that may, but are not required to, have values. You cannot remove optional attributes displayed that are inherited from a superior object class.

A draft document for the new object class appears in the Draft Documents > Draft Object Classes view.
