Common schema support
This feature enables common support schema.
IBM® Security Directory Server
supports standard directory schema as defined at the following locations:
- The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) LDAP Version 3 RFCs, such as RFC 2252 and 2256.
- The Directory Enabled Network (DEN)
- The Common Information Model (CIM) from the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF)
- The Lightweight Internet Person Schema (LIPS) from the Network Application Consortium
This version of LDAP includes the LDAP Version 3 defined schema in the default schema configuration. It also includes the DEN schema definitions.
IBM also provides a set of
extended common schema definitions that other IBM products share when they exploit the LDAP
directory. They include:
- Objects for white page applications such as eperson, group, country, organization, organization unit and role, locality, state, and others.
- Objects for other subsystems such as accounts, services and access points, authorization, authentication, security policy, and others.
