Re: OpenLdap & Inheritance

["Fabrice Nouet" <f_nouet@hotmail.com>]

Yes okay I understand inheritance...
I asked myself about inheritance with OpenLdap.
If we never use traditional inheritance the schema is never break...
no control for inheritance problems

ex with X500 a traditional way for super objectclass
top>Person>OrganizationalPerson>InetOrgPerson

but with OpenLdap we can create an entry as:
top>InetOrgPerson
without corruption of the schema ....!!???!!
So I asking myself with inheritance and OpenLdap
