Using the Domino® Directory to create a new LDAP structural object class
You can add a form and associated subforms to the Domino® Directory to define a new LDAP structural object class in the LDAP schema and to enable documents created from the form to be LDAP-accessible. The preferred method for extending the schema is to use the Domino® LDAP Schema database, however. Use the Domino® Directory to extend the schema only if Notes® or Web users require access to the new entries defined by the schema elements through documents in the directory.
About this task
If you do not need documents created from a form to be LDAP-accessible -- for example, you don't run the LDAP service in the domain and are sure you won't in the future -- you can create a new form without following these steps.
To add a new form to the Domino® Directory to define an LDAP structural object class:
Procedure
- Create a form for the structural object class.
- Create and insert an associated $xxxInheritableSchema subform into the form to define the attributes for the object class.
- Optional: Create and insert an associated $xxxExtensibleSchema subform into the $xxxInheritableSchema subform to support adding an auxiliary object class to the structural object class. You must also create a view for displaying the object class entries to Notes® and Web users.
