groupOfName (was: IETF ldapbis WG Last Call: draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-05.txt)

[Michael Ströder <michael@stroeder.com>]

HI!

Would it be a big problem or out of scope of ldapbis to change declaration 
of object class 'groupOfNames' so that attribute 'member' is not required ?

I'd like to propose changing it to:

   ( 2.5.6.9 NAME 'groupOfNames'
      SUP top
      STRUCTURAL
      MUST ( cn )
      MAY ( businessCategory $
            member $
            seeAlso $
            owner $
            ou $
            o $
            description ) )

Similar change for object class 'groupOfUniqueNames' and attribute 
'uniqueMember'.

It's rather cumbersome having to add a dummy value for 'member' each time 
you create a group which does not have members yet.

Some server products already ship with a schema like that and personally I 
can't imagine any problem with this approach.

Ciao, Michael.
