Dn with new RDN

[shailesh <shailesh@india.adventnet.com>]

Hello Ldapers,

 I am using slapd of openLdap on linx.

I was successful in defining a new object class/ attributes etc by editing
slapd.oc.conf and slapd.ac.conf.

I am not able to  able to have my attribute in the DN of my object..

i.e I defined a  new object class as ( in in slapd.oc.conf)

objectclass myObject
        requires
                objectClass,
                myattribute
        allows
                description
 
 

and also defined myattribute as( in sladp.at.conf)

attribute       myattribute                             ces
 
 

When I add a directory dn with Distinguished name as
dn="myattribute=abc, <then the other required attributes...>"
I get an error.

( if I add the instanc of myObject  without "myattibute" in the DN by using standard stuff like
cn, o   etc it gets added...)
 

Any help would be deeply appreciated....
 

regards shailesh

p.s It is also quite suprisng that the RDN of an object need not be one of the
attributes of the object ( i.e It need not be defined explicitly in the Object class
definition..) Is my understanding right??. OR is it that the attributes in  the RDN
automaicaly become one of the attributes of the object being identified....eventhough
not present in the Objectclass definition...
